trivia: highest glide ratio
Here's a trivia question for you all. I've tried googling for it, but
nothing has turned up. What airframe (commercial or experimental) had the highest recorded glide ratio, and what was it? Ratios of 50:1 are common in modern gliders, of course, but what's the very best anyone has managed, presumably using some wildly experimental airframe? Johan Larson
