What is the glide ratio for a wing-suit?
2.5 and better. It various, depending on brand and design. The different manufacturers are constantly improving the glide-ratio for their suits.
What is the equation for glide ratio?
Lift/Drag x Height loss
How is a glide ratio calculated?
To calculate the glide ratio, you divide the length it was thrown, e.g. 150cm, by the height it was thrown, e.g. 50cm. So 150/50=30cm so, it would be 30:1.
What is the approach speed of a md80?
133 to 140 knots
How long is a flight from Cincinnati to Indianapolis in?
In an md80 id say around an hour
How far will a paper airplane go off the Eiffel tower?
That would be a function of the glide ratio of the paper airplane in question.
What is the speeds aircrafts of MD-80?
The max speed of an MD80 is 500kt, cruising speed around 440kt.
How many passengers can a MD80 seat?
Around 30 to 172 passengers depending on variant and seating configuration.
How many kilometres can a Boeing 747 glide without fuel?
The 747 has about a 17 to 1 glide ratio. If we figure a cruise altitude of 42,000 ft. (8 miles). Then a 747 in cruise could glide 136 miles. Assuming that the landing area is at sea level. Even if cruise alt is a bit lower, its reasonable to say a large commercial airliner at cruise altitude can glide somewhere around 100 miles.
What is a glide reflection?
A glide refletion is a glide that has reflection.
Can a jumbo jet glide if all engines fail at the same time?
Yes. A 747 has a glide ratio of approximately 15:1. It can glide about 15 miles for every 1 mile it decends. British Airways found this out when their flight 9 lost all 4 engines due to volcanic ash near Jakarta, Indonesia 24 June, 1982.
Why do wing length and plane weight matter with paper airplanes?
The combination of wing area and plane weight affect a paper airplane's glide ratio and range.
