Abstract
In recent years several researchers examined the many various problems connected with the optimization of the flight strategy for a sailplane soaring cross-country... Simple rules have been given for finding the global optimal flight strategy in the case of uniquely spaced lifts of variable strengths taking into account altitude constraints....
