Description
The 3x3 Cross Product block computes cross (or vector) product of two vectors, A and B. The block generates a third vector, C, in a direction normal to the plane containing A and B, with magnitude equal to the product of the lengths of A and B multiplied by the sine of the angle between them. The direction of C follows the right-hand rule in turning from A to B. For related equations, see Algorithms.
