about 50-55 Miles Per hour ( statute miles of 5280 feet) not Knots ( maritime)./ Suffice to say no glider has ever hit three figures except in a dive, though the components may be stressed for it. I have a friend who used to operate gliders and she said- The speedometer goes up to l20, but you never get near three figures in normal flight. they also have altimeters and variometers- which can sense pressure waves in the atmosphere ( such as thermals) which the glider pilot takes advantage of- rather lilke a surf board. Obviously shock-wave air speed indicators are used.

What are the price ranges for RC Gliders?

From my research about RC Gliders, they average around $229.99. This is because they are very complex and do not need a remote control, they have a motor.


If two gliders of equal mass and equal and opposite initial velocity collide perfectly elastically what are the final velocities of the gliders in terms of the initial velocities?

The final velocities of the gliders after a perfectly elastic collision will also be equal and opposite to their initial velocities. This is due to the conservation of momentum and kinetic energy in elastic collisions.


Are airplanes and gliders the same?

All gliders are airplanes, but not all airplanes are gliders.

When are speed and average speed the same?

Average speed is an average value of speed over a given time. If your speed is constant (not changing), then your average speed will equal your speed at any given moment in time.


Is average speed the same as speed?

Average Speed is different from average speed becoz speed is particular while avera speed is the total distance divided from time


Do sugar gliders have jobs?

No, sugar gliders do not have jobs.


Are Sugar Gliders racist?

No, sugar gliders are not racist.


Average speed is indicated on the speedometer?

I would call it current speed, not average speed.


What is the difference between instantaneous speed and average speed?

Instantaneous speed is the speed at a particular moment in time.The average speed of an object tells you the (average) rate at which it covers distance


Formula for average speed?

average speed = distance / time


What is the equation of average speed?

Average speed = Total distance / Total time
