A flight path parallel to and in the direction of the landing runway. It is offset from the runway and opposite the downwind leg. Crosswind leg. A short climbing flight ...

  3. Upwind scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upwind_scheme

    Similarly, if is negative the traveling wave solution propagates towards the left, the left side is called downwind side and right side is the upwind side. If the finite difference scheme for the spatial derivative, ∂ u / ∂ x {\displaystyle \partial u/\partial x} contains more points in the upwind side, the scheme is called an upwind-biased ...

    Windward is upwind from the point of reference, i.e., towards the direction from which the wind is coming; leeward is downwind from the point of reference, i.e., along the direction towards which the wind is going. The side of a ship that is towards the leeward is its "lee side".

  9. Point of sail - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_sail

    For instance, if a vessel sails alternately in the directions 45° from the downwind direction, it will sail √ 2 (≈1.4) times farther than it would if it sailed dead downwind. However, as long as it can sail faster than 1.4 times its dead downwind speed, the indirect route will allow it to arrive at a chosen point sooner. [14] [15]
