Glide Angle from Aerodynamic ratio Calculator

Glide angle from aerodynamic ratio is an approximation of the angle between the horizontal plane and the trajectory of an aircraft during descent, derived from its lift-to-drag ratio, offering insight into its aerodynamic efficiency in gliding conditions.

where:

  • θ is the glide angle,
  • is the lift-to-drag ratio,
  • L is the Lift force in N,
  • D is the Drag force in N.
