The wind triangle graphically represents the relationships among velocity vectors used for air navigation. In air navigation, the wind triangle is a graphical representation of the relationship between aircraft motion and wind. It is used extensively in dead reckoning navigation. The wind triangle is a vector diagram, with three vectors.
Each pennant (filled triangle) depicts 50 kn (93 km/h; 58 mph) [4] Winds are depicted as blowing from the direction the flags are facing. Therefore, a northeast wind will be depicted with a line extending from the cloud circle to the northeast, with flags indicating wind speed on the northeast end of this line. [5]
The difference is known as the drift, and can be determined by the wind triangle. At least seven ways to measure the heading of a vehicle have been described. [1] Heading is typically based on cardinal directions, so 0° (or 360°) indicates a direction toward true north, 90° true east, 180° true south, and 270° true west. [1]

An example of a multiview orthographic drawing from a US Patent (1913), showing two views of the same object. Third angle projection is used. In third-angle projection , the object is conceptually located in quadrant III, i.e. it is positioned below and behind the viewing planes, the planes are transparent , and each view is pulled onto the ...
Here’s what the updated forecast from the National Weather Service says about the effects of Hurricane Idalia in the Raleigh and Durham areas.
An alternative method is to do it graphically by using a "double-drift diagram", which is a combination of two wind triangles (see the figure). In this method, two vectors are first drawn from the center of a plane, where each vector represents one of the headings at a given airspeed (scaling factor is used, e.g., 10 cm is 100 knots).
