The wind window can be imagined to be a virtual region of air space directly in front of the flyer when the flyer has their back to the wind. It extends in front of and to the sides of the flyer and it's radius is given by the length of the lines.
The kite develops maximum lift at the center of the wind window and minimum lift around its edges. This is shown in the diagram, the size of the arrow indicating the power generated by the kite.
The diagram above is in effect how the wind window would appear to the flyer.
