This Kalman filter uses a system model that assumes that acceleration is
constant. Warp 9 motors diverge from that assumption a lot so filter
performance is not at its best. (It works best near apogee.) Motor
burnout detection is probably best done with unfiltered acceleration data.

Either that or adjust the Kalman gains to reduce the smoothing of
acceleration data. For a really noisy sensor this could be a tricky
trade off.
