Guys i apologize for for using text speech.

From the above post i get it that we don't use aircraft size/ weight in consideration for calculating drift or wca.

But for instance if there are 2 bodies different size but moving in same direcion SAME velocity and if you apply force from the side the one which has large momentum(due to its weight)will get deflected from its path less than the one one with small momentum(due to less weight). If this is the case then why cant we apply it to our aircraft.

Please give your input.
Thanks.
