While in flight it keeps the nose of the aircraft being sling loaded facing into the wind

Some loads suddenly (and violently) start to fly while you are flying them. A huey will and so will the older 105mm cannons the Armee used to have

Yes they do at times! Their behavior in flight dictates maximum forward airspeed. Generally you are flying 100 knots or less
