Don't understand this wingspan thing. Glider with huge wingspan gives small induced drag and little vortices. These little vortices start to diminish at 50 plus feet above ground?
An F104 with short wings and large induced drag and large vortices do not have ground interaction until a much lower altitude AGL than a glider?
Mr. XPMORTEN do you have some ideas?
