Abstract
In the paper 'Energy exchange between a sailplane and moving air masses...' by W. Gorisch..., the principles of optimal choice of airspeed and normal accelerations for a non-stationary Dolphin-mode flight were given... and also in a similar paper by the author ...conclusions drawn by the author concerning optimization of non-stationary Dolphin-mode flight can be easily understood when this simple model of dynamic energy exchange is used.
