Bombs are designed to fly with the nose pointed forward into the relative wind, normally through the use of fins at the back of the bomb.

Your friends and relatives wind up going out of pocket to bury you and to pay fees and lawyers and accountants-- if they can afford to.
23.
Like classic supercells, LP supercells tend to form within stronger mid-to-upper level storm-relative wind shear, however, the atmospheric environment leading to their formation is not well understood.
24.
Positioning of the intake opening is important, and may have to be changed if the relative wind direction changes, to ensure that no engine exhaust gas enters the intake.
25.
Aerodynamic slips and skids cause either or both static ports and pitot tube ( s ) to present themselves to the relative wind in other than basic forward motion.
26.
Fixed-wing aircraft are also subject to the P-factor effect, in which a rotating propeller will yaw an aircraft slightly to one side because the relative wind it produces is asymmetrical.
27.
This kept airflow in the direction of the missile body, and thus the engine intakes, as well as greatly reducing the drag caused by the tilting of the fuselage across the relative wind.
28.
Relative wind is also used to describe the airflow relative to an object in freefall through an atmosphere, such as that of a person's body during the freefall portion of a skydive or BASE jump.
29.
Lift generated by a wing is perpendicular to the relative wind, but since wings typically fly at some small angle of attack, this means that a component of the force is directed to the rear.
30.
Autorotation is permitted mechanically because of both a freewheeling unit, which allows the main rotor to continue turning even if the engine is not running, as well as aerodynamic forces of relative wind maintaining rotor speed.
