rotation. For a free-flying aircraft, a combination of both is
beneficial and can be achieved by simply superposing the translational
and rotational velocities. The ROTATING_FRAME now considers both
parameters ROTATION_RATE and TRANSLATION_RATE given in the config file.

feature + new reference results.
Note: The rotating frame is intended for 3D cases. To use the feature in
a 2D case, care must be taken with respect to the axes, e.g. to obtain a
pitching motion, a rotation about the z-axis can be used.
