so... they had to take into account the curvature of the earth when engineering the golden gate bridge, but they can just safely ignore the curvature of the earth when trying to land an airplane? seems legit.
Bridge design is not linear and is distantly related to "linear" aircraft model as you are to a detritus rock..... Well, may be not. Nevertheless, the designs are radically different and take into consideration very different forces. Did you read linear in the title? Do you understand linear? Why would it include "linear" aircraft model, if they were going to consider non-linear considerations?
As I said, to change it to a rotating spherical reference frame you take the equations of motion in the Euclidian frame (flat, non-rotating) and transform them into the new reference frame (spherical rotating) using the appropriate transformation matrix.
I apologize if this doesn't make any sense to you, but just to show you what I'm talking about: Transformation Matrix.
