crosswinds

It can’t drive on its own during heavy rain, snow or crosswinds above 30 or 40 mph.

Generally, adding fairings and other modifications to improve aerodynamics also increases the side-on area susceptible to crosswinds.

They have some neat videos of fully autonomous landings in crosswinds on their site.

It's the only time outside of really powerful crosswinds that you see what's below and ahead of you out of the side window.

Slight tangent, if you are on an airplane that lands smoothly despite bad weather and crosswinds, compliment the pilot as you leave the plane.

Half of it, when in echelon form during crosswinds.

For recumbents the rider's mass sits much lower to the ground, more centrally within this faired frame/wheels, so they are inherently more stable to the effect of crosswinds.

If yes, then surely there must be some reasonable way for a front-end and rear wing mechanism to automatically adjust to create extra downforce during short bursts of crosswinds.

The same principle that makes a fully faired bike fast on a closed course would make it a nightmare to ride in open traffic with moderate crosswinds and/or sunny, warm conditions.

Any time you read about jets avoiding near collisions, landing in heavy crosswinds, landing safely after engine failure, etc etc, you have many checklists and years of rigorous training to thank for that.

There's a limit to how much slip a large engined transport aircraft with underwing engines can tolerate before the engine nacelle will scrape the ground, so designers of those airplanes have had to allow for crabbed touchdowns in strong crosswinds.

- slack in the rope (no tension to two times the weight of the glider) - the glider's towing position (below / above wake) - crosswinds - the glider's preferred towing position (depends on visibility from the cockpit, e.g.

As for crosswinds, the ship is simply “crabbed,” just as a traditional plane is.

Provided the airspeed was right and crosswinds were in tolerance, you click the "Land AV" button and the landing is 100% hands off.

For now, assume I hallucinated such a thing (or maybe what I think I saw was actually just an old-school steering stabilizer that advertised "crosswinds!".) And you're right, it does seem that the systems are integrated.

Crosswinds, a for-profit venture on city-owned land, was conceived by the non-profit Collins Center for Public Policy, which asked developers to submit plans that would help revitalize the area." and "Much of the new housing will be priced well beyond the reach of most residents of Overtown, where homeownership is barely 10%.
