| 41. | It had clean aerodynamics, with high aspect ratio wings that made possible a glide ratio of 25 : 1.
|
| 42. | This in turn gives a best-glide ratio of 1 : 36 which is comparable with early fibreglass gliders.
|
| 43. | The Stratos XP features fiberglass wingtips, a different shaped sail providing a better glide ratio and lower sink rate.
|
| 44. | The glide ratio of the DA20-C1 is 11 : 1 and the DA20-A1 is 14 : 1.
|
| 45. | At lower speeds an aircraft may have a worse glide ratio but it will also have a lower rate of sink.
|
| 46. | The design was professionally engineered and incorporates a very clean cantilever wing that results in a 12 : 1 glide ratio.
|
| 47. | The resulting aircraft is small, but has good penetration and maneuverability, with a glide ratio of 21 : 1.
|
| 48. | As mass increases, the best glide ratio is achieved at higher speeds . ( The glide ratio is not increased .)
|
| 49. | As mass increases, the best glide ratio is achieved at higher speeds . ( The glide ratio is not increased .)
|
| 50. | The new wing was 2 feet greater in span, giving it a slightly better glide ratio than the 2-8.
