Abstract
Since we are considering departures from an optimum condition, it follows that errors in gliding speed will have a second-order effect on the loss in average speed... An increase in average rate of climb of 3%, i. e. from 3.73 knots to 3.84 knots, would more than offset the loss in average speed due to errors in gliding speed.
