Ah yes, that is an idea. Like Stephen suggested, something Poser also 
does. Only thing indeed is the bending.

It seems to me, looking at your image, that the rate of bending should 
be inverted. What I mean is this: Now, the angle goes from high at the 
start to gradually low towards the top, producing a concave-up bending 
shape. Could you /invert/ the calculation for this? Thus making a 
convex-up bending shape?

Alternatively, can you make the wind power in Blender to increase upwards?
