About a plane that increases its ground speed as the headwind intensifies
Assuming a plane hovers (ground speed Vg=0) against a headwind with a velocity Vw1, is it possible for this plane to start moving (Vg > 0) just because the wind intensifies, increasing its speed from Vw1 to Vw2 > Vw1?
It is known that once the plane, which can be in the reverse command regime, hovers against the Vw1 wind all the control surfaces and the power delivered to the propeller remain locked.
