If a sailplane has glide ratio of 45 then, find horizontal distance travelled by this sailplane. Consider altitude loss of 1000ft.(a) 45000ft(b) 1000ft(c) 3456ft(d) 987ftI had been asked this question in unit test.The question is from Flight Mechanics topic in division Performance and Flight Mechanics of Aircraft Design
