Glide angle and speed


During descent, the angle between the angle between the actual glide path of the aircraft
and the horizon is called the glide angle, the glide angle increases as drag increases, and
decreases as drag decreases. Since a decreased glide angle, or a shallower glide, provides the
greatest gliding distance.

Next topic that i will discuss
Lift to Drag Ratio
