Crosswind is referenced in terms of knots, a fancy aviation term for nautical miles per hour . Example 1 Aircraft heading: 070 Wind Direction:160 Wind Strength: 25 knots This example is super easy. The wind strength is 25 knots. So 1 (the sine of 90) X 25 (knots) = A crosswind component of 25 knots. knots 20 0.34

The student pilot may initially struggle to understand the functions of an E6B flight computer. But pilots around the globe rely on this indispensable gadget for charting their flights, crunching numbers to determine time in transit, fuel usage, and necessary adjustments for wind shifts. That means our groundspeed was 90 knots.

It’s typically measured in knots (nautical miles per hour), with one knot being about 1.15 As an aircraft accelerates, especially at or above 200 knots, the air particles flowing around it become tightly packed. You can use a flight computer like an E6B or onboard avionics to determine your true airspeed.

The prototype is designed as a piloted aircraft but the initial test flight in July 2023 was unmanned. The prototype lifted off, hovered and flew at a speed of 40 knots before landing. Aviation photographer Michael Stappen was at Cotswold Airport and got a photograph of that first flight. A propeller blade flew off of EPU3.
