Here are the data points for glider A:
starts at exactly 13 minutes and 42 seconds. at 2349 ft with a speed of 50 kt arrives at 20:22 at the finish line with an altitude of 121 ft at 95 kt, a distance covered of 12.7 miles. Glider B starts at nearly the same location ( within 100 ft) at 13:56 at an altitude 2400 ft at 57 kt arrives precisely at the same finish line at 20:02 at an altitude of 62 feet with a speed of 103 kt also covered the same distance of 12.7 miles. The condition are the same but for the second glider leaving 14 seconds later and arriving 20 seconds early. The flight pass was nearly identical but for the second glider passing the first hal ways What is the true difference between the two. It is clear there is not much difference. Thanks in advance for shedding light on this for me. Udo |
