Look chaps. Lot's of people are watching us. So let's not make
elementary mistakes.
The lift on a wing is a function of
- wing shape
- angle of attack
- air density
- freestream velocity
- wing surface area
Lift = Cl 1/2 p v **2 S
Now you can see the only variables are angle of attack and speed. Unless you increase speed you
must increase angle of attack to maintain the same glide angle if weight increases.
