Thanks barit1 and gearpins, so 210kts would be the optimum speed to acheive longest glide distance in the situation you described?
Just to rephrase the end of my question 1:
In determining what the maximum take off weight of an aircraft is, presumably a calculation of maximum lift is done for the aircraft, and the maximum take off weight is then a certain percentage (less than 100%) of that figure for maximum lift, correct?. Anyone have any details about the calculation of mtow?
Thanks
