A tailwind is a wind that blows in the direction of travel of an object, while a headwind blows against the direction of travel. A tailwind increases the object's speed and reduces the time required to reach its destination, while a headwind has the opposite effect. * In aeronautics, a headwind is favorable in takeoffs and landings because an airfoil moving into a headwind is capable of generating greater lift than the same airfoil moving through tranquil air, or with a tailwind, at equal ground speed. As a result, aviators and air traffic controllers commonly choose to take off or land in the direction of a runway that will provide a headwind. * In sailing, a headwind may make forward movement difficult, and necessitate tacking into the wind. * Tailwinds and headwinds are commonly measured in relation to the speed of vehicles commonly air and watercraft as well as in running events particularly sprints. |
