Title: Glide ratio of a P-40 Post by: GatorDude on January 28, 2013, 02:44:51 PM I understand that pilots have to be familiar with how their aircraft might glide in the event of engine failure. Does anyone know what the glide ratio is for a P-40 Warhawk?

I had a friend that flew F-4 and he said that plane glide ratio is 1 to 1! It's almost a rock.

It's almost a rock. That's good compared to ANY fast jet! They all glide like bricks. |
