In a coordinated turn, aircraft move in two dimensions, not three. They roll
into turns to keep the acceleration vector parallel to the yaw axis.
Bzzzt, wrong answer.
In a coordinated turn, a real aircraft can maintain altitude, climb,
or decend.
Real aircraft operate in 3 dimensions.
Motorcycles, free to move in 2 axis, orientation and velocity determined
by gravity, engine power, coefficient of friction between the tires
and the surface, the surface itself, relative angle between front
and rear wheels, gyroscopic action of the wheels.
In a coordinated turn, motorcycles move in two dimensions. They lean into
turns to keep the acceleration vector aligned with the center of gravity and
the plane of the rear wheel.
Motorcycles ALWAYS operate in 2 dimensions; the surface of the Earth
insures that.
You neglected the coefficient of friction between the tires and the surface,
relative angle between front and rear wheels, and gyroscopic action of
the wheels.
But you could care less since you only want to argue endlessly.
