As far as your question, I guess we've come to the conclusion I was going to tell you. Neither one exists. Centrifugal forces, in the physics courses I've taken (long long time ago) does not exist (at least in most circumstances, and for aerodynamics discussion). Centrifical is just a misspelling, I am assuming. Centripetal force is what turns an airplane.
