It gives the bird a higher relative speed which generates more lift.
The bird with the fastest take-off ability is the diving peregrine falcon. This bird can take off at over 117 miles per hour.
Mostly they do, not always. It is more efficient to take off into wind.
Yes a head wind and flaps set to mid for wing configuration
No. An aircraft takes off and lands into the wind. (Or as close as possible to directly into the wind).
If it can be helped always land and take off into the wind (wind in your face)
If conditions (airport layout and traffic conditions) allow aircraft take off and land against the wind (headwind). This way the aircraft can take off or approach the runway at a lower ground speed.
It helps them to get air under the wings its a much better take off
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle was created in 1994.
A bird that only flies in wind is called a magpie.
It all helps. If a 747 takes off into a 40mph head wind its take off speed will be reduced from 180mph to 140 mph. Pilots much prefer the headwind as it allows them to take off much sooner
If the headwind is 20 miles per hour and the bird also flies at 20 mph relative to the wind then the bird will be stationary relative to the earth. However, the bird is not stationary relative to the wind.
