Gliding with a Boeing 737
Hello everybody,
I've tried some searching around on the web, but not finding answares for my questions. As a glider pilot I'm a bit interested in how the airliners glide etc.
For a Boeing 737-700 with wing lets:
- What is the best L/D ratio?
- What are the best speeds for best L/D at given weights?
Would it be possible to save fuel, descending earlier at a lower speed?
Are there any requirements of how long an typical 737 engine has to run before max power (take-off)?
Sorry if there questions have been asked earlier, I'm new here...
Best regards,
Bluescan
