Question of the Day
Since mass is a constant factor on both sides of the equation, it cancels out. Therefore there should theoretically be negligible difference in the pullup altitude gained between the ballasted and unballasted cases.True except for two things:The ballasted glider has more induced dragwhile at the same airspeed as the unballasted oneThe ballasted glider also has a higher stall speedSo the unballasted glider will go higherMark Boyd
