Cornering force vs Lateral force[edit]

I recently reverted a change from

the delay between when a slip angle is introduced and when the lateral force reaches its steady-state value.

back to

the delay between when a slip angle is introduced and when the cornering force reaches its steady-state value.

because cornering force is the name given to the lateral force associated with a slip angle and which has a finite relaxation length. Conversely, the lateral force associated with camber angle, the so-called camber thrust, appears to have a negligible relaxation length.[1] -AndrewDressel (talk) 22:35, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
