KR> Glide ratio

Hello Net I have read the responses on glide ratio and see that no one has made the real test with the engine off. Any number that you get with the engine a idle is an over estimate. How much of an over estimate depends on the thrust the engine and prop combo put out at your particular idle

KR> Glide ratio

Ref: http://142.26.194.131/aerodynamics1/Multi/Page2.html A windmilling prop at low idle will actually produce more drag than a stopped prop. However, with the engine turning at a high idle, it will help carry you a long ways. I nursed a Stinson Voyager 8 miles at night from 1700'AGL with

If it doesn't have an engine it's a glider. Lynn dan, what I was referring to was the mim. requirment to be considered a glider. I seem to recall somewhere (I could be wrong) that the FAA (friendly aviator association) required at least a 20 to 1 glide ratio ie..747 ect.. Mike Turner
