What direction does the wind come from immediately after exiting the aircraft?

When you exit the aircraft during a skydive, the wind that you feel is primarily coming from ahead due to your forward motion as you fall. Initially, as you leave the plane, you are moving at the speed of the aircraft in a forward trajectory. The relative wind created by your descent and horizontal motion results in the sensation of wind coming directly toward you from the front.

Understanding the wind dynamics at this moment is crucial for skydivers as it affects body position and stability during the freefall phase. Recognizing that the wind is hitting you from ahead helps in maintaining a proper orientation and facilitates adjustments in body posture for optimal aerodynamics. This is essential for safe and controlled descents.
