Balderdash? I presume you mean this in the definitive sense. Although his writing could have been more concise, I do not think it was nonsense.Pure, unadulterated balderdash!!!!

And thus--like the aircraft--cannot be "pushed" into a turn. Can the entire volume of air move the path of trajectory--yes; but that is still different from the notion of wind "impacting" the side of the projectile and thus causing it to turn. I have no earthly idea how you interpreted the statement "as long as the airspeed of an aircraft exceeds that of the windspeed, it cannot be "pushed" into a turn by the wind." to mean anything other than the aircraft (or projectile) doesn't "see" the wind unless its airpeed is less than that of the windspeed.Pure, unadulterated balderdash!!!! Virtually all bullets move faster than the wind.
That often comes up in discussions of bullet winddrift, as if the wind "pushes" the bullet directly causing it to "turn" onto a new heading. The term wind drift accurately describes an object as drifting within the air--not being pushed.well I have no idea what you mean when you say "turned"
So does a bullet settle out for less of a orbit around the general line axis (take that) as it gets further out?
Yes--that's an example of what I've read, thanks for getting us back on track.Some of the "sleepy bullet" theories seem to say that there is some restoring force that causes the bullet to orbit around an axis not passing through the bullet's center of gravity and that tapers in as it goes along.
https://www.sierrabullets.com/exter...follow-a-crosswind-and-resulting-deflections/I think I see where the confusion came from. When wind hits the bullet it does not turn the bullet, rather it pushes the bullet in the direction that the force was applied. When the forces ceases the bullet is no longer being pushed. At least I believe that is the point you are trying to make.

That was very cool, actually--that guy would have a great future in politics. I'm too old and scared of road-raged lunatics to ride anymore.Ok, watch this and then your head will spin!
I used to ride a Kawasaki Ninja and then a more sedate Harley XLH 1200. You probably know from riding that bikes too have their own version of adverse yaw before punching a leaning turn--so that's the connection to the subject at hand. : )Yes it was. Shows how convoluted it can all get.
As for cycles, I got a Ural Side Car and have done fine! Granted Side Cars are a world unto themselves driving wise (you drive them you don't ride). Engine is very air cooled BMW like.
Modernized with Fuel Injection, vastly more reliable than the Soviet Union and Post Soviets were. Mostly are parts mfg (sourced) from other suppliers.
They moved the assembly to Kazakhstan this last 6 months though I think they were thinking in that direction anyway.
