Thank for the explanation of centrifugal & centripetal.
May the force be with you.

I guess we have different dictionaries." <
The primary (non Mechanical) definition in my 1774AD dictionary is "the act of preceding".
A change to the control plane or a gust must 'precede' the change in the rotor plane, so the expression 'Aerodynamic Precession' could be considered valid.
And, you have to admit it has a nice sound to it.

Is it correct to assume that 'gyroscopic precession' will
always have a phase offset of 90-degrees, if the true precession that you have referred to is not considered?
