Aerodynamic question for you engineers

I presume you are referring to one of these definitions: (1) : a transformation of coordinates in which the new axes are parallel to the old ones (2) : uniform motion of a body in a straight line Can I impose on your MIT BSME to elaborate as to which definition it is to which you are referring? Thank you. What, you couldn't find anything in the FARs about it? Let me (and Merriam-Webster) take a guess first. Rotation is the action or process of rotating on or as if on an axis or center, and translation in this case is the movement or change of location of the CG. Am I helping or hurting? You're an idiot.
