We investigate the global stellar wind dynamics of the exciting star of the Orion Nebula by using the “proplyds” and their bowshocks as probes of the ram pressure balance conditions in the nebula. This careful analysis is only possible if high resolution data are available, since the proplyds are so small and the bowshocks are so faint.
