[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 502941, member: 5302"] Headwinds slow bullets down, tail winds speed them up. This is what drag does at supersonic speeds of bullets. Airplanes are way subsonic at take off. They need the increased lift to get them off the ground. The added drag caused by planes taking off into the wind is meaningless to what increased lift does. And some planes add more angle to the wing with flaps that angle down so takeoff at lower speeds will have added lift. [/QUOTE]
