The impact of motion of the surrounding air(or the side wind). I believe that it should tlit the object by some little angle(alpha), which will make the total drag H * tan(alpha). However I can't figure out how to calulate that angle. I belive that it should depend on the aerodynamics of the object, especially on the location of center of mass and center of pressure.
