Class
    Foam::targetCoeffTrim

Description
    Target trim forces/coefficients

    Solves:

        c^old + J.d(theta) = c^target

    Where:

        n     = time level
        c     = coefficient vector (thrust force, roll moment, pitch moment)
        theta = pitch angle vector (collective, roll, pitch)
        J     = Jacobian [3x3] matrix


    The trimmed pitch angles are found via solving the above with a
    Newton-Raphson iterative method.  The solver tolerance can be user-input,
    using the 'tol' entry.

    If coefficients are requested (useCoeffs = true), the force and moments
    are normalised using:

                         force
        c = ---------------------------------
            alpha*pi*rho*(omega^2)*(radius^4)

    and

                         moment
        c = ---------------------------------
            alpha*pi*rho*(omega^2)*(radius^5)

    Where:

        alpha = user-input conversion coefficient (default = 1)
        rho   = desity
        omega = rotor angulr velocity
        pi    = mathematical pi
