Crosswind Force. The component of the resultant force on an aeroplane along the cross-wind axis, caused by the relative air stream. This force is zero except when the aeroplane is yawed or side-slipped.
Using this method, the pilot creates a sideward force (centrifugal force) that will offset the crosswind force. This is accomplished by steering the seaplane in a downwind arc as shown in Figure 10.
