    I hope this message finds you well. I would like to inform you that the terms "roll" and "pitch" actually represent directions, rather than specific coordinate axes. Therefore, the speed in the pitch direction indicates how fast the aircraft is flying along the pitch direction. In addition to speed control, you also have the option to use angle control, but please note that angular velocity control is not supported.

    Thank you for your prompt reply! If you don't mind, I would like to understand it better, thus:

    Can you just explain me how velocity is set along the pitch direction in the body frame? Doesn't velocity needs a reference frame?

    I hope this message finds you well. I would like to provide you with a reference article that you can consult regarding the topic you mentioned. You can find the article at the following link: https://developer.dji.com/doc/mobile-sdk-tutorial/en/basic-introduction/basic-concepts/flight-controller.html. In the article, you will find information about the concept of "pitch" in relation to the aircraft's left and right directions. When the pitch value is positive, it means the aircraft is flying to the right. Conversely, when the pitch value is negative, it indicates that the aircraft is flying to the left.
