Examples of tangent plane
tangent plane
The NED coordinates allow you to do this as an alternative to the ENU local tangent plane.

The geocentric latitude is not the appropriate up direction for the local tangent plane.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The tangent plane is the best linear approximation, or linearization, of a surface at a point.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A related notion of curvature is the shape operator, which is a linear operator from the tangent plane to itself.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The tangent plane to a surface at a point is naturally a vector space whose origin is identified with the point of contact.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The tangent plane to a surface at a given point p is defined in an analogous way to the tangent line in the case of curves.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Any non-singular curve on a smooth surface will have its tangent vector T lying in the tangent plane of the surface orthogonal to the normal vector.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A plane tangent to the cylinder, meets the cylinder in a single straight line.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The principal curvatures are the maximum and minimum curvatures of the plane curves obtained by intersecting the surface with planes normal to the tangent plane at the point.
