Yes I take your point but we are looking at impact! His vertical impact would be far higher in this situation than his horizontal impact and that is what I thought we were talking about???
His horizontal impact speed ie his speed forward would not be 100kts but a lesser figure.
His verical impact speed would be the 200 kts vertical air plus a greater figure as a portion of his IAS.
Obviously maintaining 100 kts his speed in the air would stay at roughly 100 kts but not in a horizontal plane.
That determines your horizontal impact and that is what I thought we were talking about not your speed through the air which accepted stays at 100 kts if you mainatin that.
