RE: Effect of wind speed on EDF thrust
[:@] .....OooooKay....another new twist on the "downwind turn" arguement.
The answer, if the plane is in flight, is NO. It can't tell the difference what direction it is flying as there is no "wind" just airspeed, otherwise called relative wind. (exception given to abrupt wind shear or dynamic soaring situations). The model is moving within an airmass.
Besides all that, EDF's do not "unload" in flight to any appreciable degree no matter what.
