okay, is it relevant in this instance:
a bird is flying at 18 m/s^2 with a fish and it drops the fish. will the speed of the fish upon hitting the water below be affected at all by the 18 m/s^2?

In a vacuum above a perfectly flat surface, the answer is no. (The ideal model situation) However, no situation is ideal.
I would say, in most cases, the vertical velocity of an object in freefall would noy be significantly affected by the horzontal velocity.
If the object is travelling fast enough for air resistance to significantly affect it, then the question becomes much more complex. At even faster speeds the curvature of the Earth will be significant.
If the object is a baseball in an ordinary baseball game, unless it is a pitched curve ball, the horizontal velocity is insignificant.

out of your question , it does no longer seem that , the fee through area winds have any ingredient, whilst resolved , will oppose or help the horizontal or vertical velocity of the projectile. If the projectile is traveling horizontally, it particularly is going to take a curved course, below the impact of resultant of two velocities. specifically velocity through area wind , and due to the projectiles own horizontal velocity If the projectile is traveling vertically comparable would be the case

Usually, It has absolutely no effect. They are completely separate.
There are some cases where this may change. Airplanes depend on horizontal velocity to generate lift and essentially vertical velocity.
Some things my require horizontal velocity to generate vertical velocity but in terms of throwing a projectile, they are completely separate.

At the point it is dropped it falls where it is dropped at the velocity of its own mass and gravity. The horizontal movement might affect where it will land but not its velocity.

A horizontal component has no effect on vertical motion and a vertical component has no effect on horizontal motion

Depending on the structure of the wing,yes.

yes definetly if they r relative 2 each other

no they do not have any relation with each other ...but in some cases one may be required to generate other
