Headwind — A headwind is a wind that blows against the direction of travel of an object. A headwind reduces the object s speed and increases the time required to reach its destination. Headwinds are commonly measured in relation to the speed of vehicles… … Wikipedia
Ground speed — is the speed of an aircraft relative to the ground. It is the sum of the aircraft s true airspeed and the current wind and weather conditions; a headwind subtracts from the ground speed, while a tailwind adds to it. Winds at other angles to the… … Wikipedia
equivalent headwind — The constant wind that, blowing along the tracks at all points, results in the same average ground speed as that produced by the actual distribution of the wind at the time of the flight. A negative value of equivalent head wind is equivalent to… … Aviation dictionary
Tailwind — A tailwind is a wind that blows in the direction of travel of an object. A tailwind increases the object s speed and reduces the time required to reach its destination. Tailwinds are commonly measured in relation to the speed of vehicles commonly … Wikipedia
