Wind Resistance Test Tool

Simulate aerodynamic drag, thrust requirements, gust tolerance and expected ground speeds under wind. Client-side only; no saving. Use for planning and comparison.

Aircraft & Environment

Reference area (m²) Drag coefficient (Cd) Lift coefficient (Cl) (for induced drag calc) Mass (kg) Frontal shape factor (form factor) Air density (kg/m³)

Propulsion & Limits

Total static thrust (N) Max safe airspeed (m/s) Cruise speed (m/s)

Wind Profile

Mean wind speed at site (m/s) Gust amplitude (m/s) Wind direction relative to heading (°) (0 = headwind)

Simulation Options

Run duration (s) Timestep (s) Monte-Carlo runs

Tip: start with conservative gusts and test different heading angles to see crosswind effects.
