It is the centre line of an area known as the wind cone, within which a parachutist must remain if he is to land on the desired point of impact. The radius of the wind cone varies with the forward speed of the canopy and the height AGL. The wind cone radius for the CT-2 canopy at 305 m is approximately 100 to 175 metres. It should be noted that the wind cone will not necessarily be a straight line, as it is affected by the changes in wind speed and direction at the various altitudes through which it passes. 1, record 3, English, - wind%20line

C'est la ligne médiane d’une zone appelée cône de direction du vent, à l'intérieur duquel le parachutiste doit rester s’il veut atterrir au point d’impact prévu. Le rayon du cône varie avec la vitesse avant de la voilure et l'altitude au-dessus du niveau du sol. Le rayon du cône de direction du vent pour la voilure CT-2 à 305 m(100 pieds) d’altitude est d’environ 100 à 175 mètres. Il y a lieu de noter que le cône n’ est pas nécessairement une ligne droite; il varie suivant les changements dans la vitesse et la direction du vent, aux diverses altitudes par lesquelles il passe. 1, record 3, French, - ligne%20du%20vent

Britain's ICI, which developed the mist-inhibiting Avgard polymer mixed with the test aircraft's fuel, told Interavia that there were indications that the downward component of the impact may have been greater than expected - the aircraft did not slide very far along the ground after impact and this may have contributed to the fire taking hold. 1, record 5, English, - mist%2Dinhibiting%20polymer

Selon la société britannique ICI, qui a mis au point le polymère antivaporisation Avgard mélangé au carburant de l'avion, il semblerait que la composante verticale de l'impact ait été supérieure à ce qui avait été prévu, de sorte que l'avion n’ a pas glissé sur une longue distance et que cela a peut-être contribué au fait que l'incendie ait pu se déclarer. 1, record 5, French, - polym%C3%A8re%20antivaporisation
