This function is useful for helicopters as it returns Z vector. More or less climb (+) ou descent (-) rate but: As X,Y,Z vectors are relative to vehicle attitude, this function doesn't return a climb or descend rate (as the attitude of the vehicle can be far from horizontal). You can get negative Z vector, while climbing fast, peeling off in the sky!
