Low speed airfoil and relative wind.
Thank KENAT, I've seen some interesting videos of large (747-ish) aircraft make those maneuvers in a high crosswind, certainly looks like white knuckle flying. I guess my question is more about the fluid dynamics of the wing interacting with the air column, in straight and level flight. Would...- Anachronist

Low speed airfoil and relative wind.
I'm looking for clarification about low speed flight (<60kts)and relative wind in real world conditions. My background is sailing so it's difficult to transfer all that information into an object with no contact to water or ground. We were taught that the relative wind or air flow over an...- Anachronist
