Looking for information covering tension applied to a towrope during tow and any other maneuvers while on tow. Twins vs. singles.
Scientifically applied or Kentucky windage guesses also welcome to be posted.
Thanks,

Steady state calculations are interesting but irrelevant.
Tow rope failure happens on a snatch, because a loop has developed
and then the rope suddenly becomes taut; then the load depends on the
separation rate, the extensibility of the rope and the mass of the glider.
