Heavy Wind - Plane not moving

@emtneto Just above the stall speed should be sufficient
-
If it turns 180 degrees, it would break the sound barrier :b
-
As long as a plane has enough airspeed to keep from stalling the ground speed dosen't matter. this is how some planes ground speed can have much higher ground speed if they are going with the wind. if they are goinig into the wind, and the wind is high then this happens
-
Once I had an RC plane which was able to travel forward without and reverse with full flaps in 3-4 Bft. Was kinda funny...
-
@tigerswede3 & @demopilot208 and if there was no wings the plane wouldn't be flying at al... RELAX you are the one sayin not to get technical... Enjoy the damn video
-
@emtneto Also, if the wind was constant, and over VS speed (stall speed for the aircraft), the aircraft would actually be traveling backwards, yet still maintain enough lift to stay airborne.
-
@emtneto I think his term is just figurative speech. No need to get technical here, just enjoy the video.

I can imagine him rocking back and forth in the cockpit like a kid on a tricycle stuck in mud to try to get it to go.

Get a big enough wind and you can (theoretically) do that in any plane... I'd hate to experience the wind that could give a 747 that slow of a ground speed! LOL!!!
-
damn, if the wind just drops so does he.
Look! A Harrier wannabe!

If there is enough wind to produce lift (i.e. wind as fast as the takeoff speed), the plane could not be moving at all and it would remain airborn.
