Turk,
I ll try one more time.
Example 2.
Two helicopters are Indicating 0 IAS and there is a 100kt wind. GS = 100kts, Closure rate 0kts.
Using the old
EK = (1/2)mv2
The kinetic energy generated by their impact is 0 since their relative velocity (IAS/TAS) is 0 , and ie they would never collide.
But if while they were sitting there fat dumb and happy struck a Big F--k Off mountain at 100kt GS, the V in the formula becomes GS.
You seem to have a problem grasping wind effect.
With comments like:
“So technically you could be doing 310 KIAS and have a 100KT tailwind so the impact would be at 410knots. So really its kinda of a BS limitation”
I surely hope you are not flying fare paying passengers around.
The end.
