C'mon guys....I'm the one who has been saying we CAN'T instantly accelerate (rotating Earth examples, etc.). And so we see the effects of that impossibility on our models as they turn DW. One more try, then bedtime:

Your model is capable of 100mph AS and headed right-to-left in a left-to-right, 100mph, steady wind. IOWs, it's hovering from your POV on the ground. Now you quickly turn it DW. In order to not lose lift, it somehow would have to turn and accelerate instantly to 200mph, now going from your left to right, so as to have an AS of 100mph. Instantly....and if it couldn't do that, then it would drop as it went from a 100mph tailwind, struggled through an AS of zero for a moment, until finally catching up and exceeding the 100mph 'sea of air' by 100mph in order to regain its 100 AS.

Where is the above reasoning flawed?

Great fun(!)....tomorrow, then.
