1. Yeah a clean wing is the best for glide...
I am thinking more towards prepaing for ditching..after all other options
considered.
Not getting the best gliding
range of a clean wing...but rather the best handling configuraion for a water landing.
Boeing say use flaps 40. That is with thrust though. In this scenerio you would be
limited from an operating systems point of view. Towards that end would you not
agree to extending the leading edge devices??
