In purely Newtonian terms force is force but for an aircraft, tangential and centripetal forces have quite different effects because it envolves rotating forces.
Ask a mathematician
I'm speaking about the comparison between a 60 knot airplane in a 60 knot headwind doing a 180 degree turn, and the same airplane doing the same turn in still air.
