Expand description
The Earth as the flight engine sees it: a launch frame, a gravity model and the rotation
terms, all resolved in the launch frame L.
L is fixed to the rotating Earth, so a body in it feels normal gravity (gravitation plus
centrifugal, crate::gravity) and, when it moves, the Coriolis acceleration −2 Ω × v.
The centrifugal term is already inside normal gravity and is never added separately.
Equations and choices are in docs/physics/gravity.md and the decision record on frames,
geodesy and gravity, ADR-003.
