This application presents an unpowered glide analysis of a Baron 58 aircraft.

An aircraft with no engine power will glide to the ground. The best glide angle is the flight angle at which the airplane will travel the greatest distance, and occurs at the maximum lift-to-drag ratio.

For the parameters used in this application, a Baron 58 aircraft has a maximum lift-to-drag ratio of about 12.2. This means an unpowered Baron will fall 1 m for every 12.2 m of travel. This application also calculates the best glide velocity, drag and lift coefficients, and the dynamic pressure.
