Default RE: Flying wing gliding in high winds
As already stated, the aircraft can fly backwards if the speed of the air is greater than the glider's airspeed. If the air is moving at 100 (knots, mph, whatev), and the glider is moving against it at 50, the glider will be going backward geographically. 

First-time poster, not the best areas to be asking about IMO. Questions seem elementary, could be answered with a simple search.
