there's one reason why when a PLANE takes off, the pilot will almost always face the PLANE opposite the wind direction...........
this is to create MORE lift, because of the Velocity difference between the PLANE and the Headwind........... the plane can takeoff at a shorter distance.........
let's say a plane take off speed is 60 knots with calm wind........ but on a particular day when they're a headwind of 10 knots.. this plane can takeoff at 50knots...
wow, this is most interesting. this is to create MORE lift, because of the Velocity difference between the PLANE and the Headwind........... the plane can takeoff at a shorter distance.........

my understanding of planes is limited to what i read in MS Flight Sim manuals. Is it because , more headwind means greater airflow pass the wings, and thus higher lift is generated?
