Wind speed description of Fig. 7.8 in lecture08 notes is inconsistent with code graph #4

Fig. 7.8 of lecture08 notes has an x-axis range of 0 to 20 m/s whereas the supporting text below the figure on pages 22 and 23 state wind speeds of up to 41 m/s: image page 22: image page 23: image I assume this may have been copied over from the "Chapter 6 Scaling Airborne Wind Energy Systems for Deployment on Mars" (https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-50081-7_6) which these lecture08 notes were derived from. As hypothesized, the Fig. 7.14 from the paper on Mars has mentions of wind speeds of 41 m/s: image

Yes, the re-adaptation of the model to terrestrial applications is likely the reason for this bug. Thanks for pointing me to this (and providing a solution)!
