Analysis to date has assumed that the atmosphere is calm and fixed -Rarely true since we must contend with gusts and winds -Need to understand how these air motions impact our modeling of the aircraft. Must modify aircraft equations of motion since the aerodynamic forces and moments are functions of the relative motion between the aircraft and the atmosphere, and not of the inertial velocities
