Oh, and what about providing another ‘plan view’ for still air conditions for comparison.
Everything in black in those figures is correct. The overlaid blue triangles, though, are nonsense for the reason I explained earlier in post 174.

In still air, angle d would be zero and therefore Fc sin d would be zero, and therefore Ft would be zero.
