I'll be a bit more specific: I understand you can derive the speed to fly by drawing the tangent from the anticipated thermal strength to the polar.
How do you determine the optimum weight and therefore wing loading for particular conditions? (Or do you fill it to the gunwhales and hope for the best :-) ) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derek Ruddock Sent: Tuesday, 10 July 2007 12:06 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: [Aus-soaring] Block speeds and wing loadings Can anyone give some pointers for how to calculate the block speeds and optimum wing loadings for a particular glider? Examples from anyone who has already performed the leg work would be appreciated
