Now, ask Thomas about his landing speeds....(airliners have about a
20-1 glide ratio, too).

For the Rv-6, the claimed glide ratio is
10:1, I can verify that it is at least 9.8:1 - verified by a
12 mile glide - don't ask.

Anything above that, & it will effectively be making
thrust instead of drag on final.

For the sake of comparison, what is the glide ratio of an
RV?
My Long-EZ glide ratio is 19:1 (or ...... it will be once
it's done.)
