PitchSpeed is a throttle threshold. Throttle is the aircraft’s current speed as a fraction of its top speed, from 0 to 1. Because it is a fraction, the same PitchSpeed means the same share of top speed whatever Speed= is.
Above the threshold, an airborne aircraft pitches its nose down by PitchAngle and banks by RollAngle while it turns. At or below the threshold it is drawn level. PitchSpeed=0 gives an aircraft its flying attitude as soon as it starts moving. A value of 1 or more keeps it level at every speed.
An IsDropship=yes type neither pitches nor banks this way. For a dropship, the threshold matters only after it is destroyed in the air. While its throttle is above the threshold, its PitchAngle is added to its tumble as it falls, as for any other aircraft. The stock dropship sets .4.
