Why Do Aircraft Carriers ALWAYS Sail Directly Into the Wind? 

US Aircraft carriers always sail directly into the wind. Why is that? How can a gigantic city at sea position itself so precisely that aircraft can take off and land safely even in the most turbulent weather conditions? How do they land on a deck that twists and rolls?
Aircraft carriers stand as marvels of military engineering. However, even these behemoths must contend with the dynamic force of wind, a factor that fundamentally influences all carrier flight operations. A comprehensive grasp of wind's impact on takeoff and landing is a cornerstone of naval aviation.
Flight is fundamentally dependent on lift, the force counteracting gravity. Aerodynamically designed wings manipulate airflow, creating a pressure differential that generates lift. Higher pressure below the wing and lower pressure above it results in an upward force. #aircraftcarrier #usnavy #storm
