Thank you BelArgUSA and Denti!
So, what I see here is that the L/D is quite good, up to 22 on a newer 737. BelArgUSA, you expected the best L/D speed to be quite low. Then I wonder what a realistic speed would be on a 737.
And second question, do the jetengines need to run for x minutes before going full? If you started your engines on the runway, just completing the checklists and then full throttle. How healthy would it be?

We also have a Ka8 in our club, a fun glider to fly, but don't it have a l/d closer to 26-27?
