What is magical about a 45 degree bank?
I know that a 45 degree bank is useful for flying small circles and staying in small thermals, but is there something special about a 45 degree bank compared to say a 50 degree bank?
For example, does the designer intend for the glider to do something special at 45 degrees? Is the glider designed to balance aerodynamic forces in a particular harmony at a precise 45 degree bank?
