Why can headwind assist planes when taking off and landing? Why does tailwind not help with takeoff?
In: 11
Okay so the shape of the wing is what makes the plane go up. The top is curved out. This makes the top longer than the bottom. Because of this the air pushes on the bottom, and gets spread out on the top making less pressure on top. The head wind increases the force pushing on the bottom and so makes take off easier. Tailwind does the reverse
