In a glide lift=weight and the production of that lift causes some amount
of induced drag. Again faster airplanes are going to have less total drag,
both induced and parasitic than slower airplanes. I don't have numbers
handy but a Bonanza or Mooney (or Baron) is going to glide better than an
Arrow.

Here's some numbers that I have handy.

Cessna 152 can glide for 16 miles from 10000 feet.

Cessna 208 (Caravan) can glide for 22 miles from 10000 feet.

The 152 is doing 60 knots, the 'van is doing 96 kts.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
