Default Another AirBus-320 question

pintlar s'est penché sur son écritoire, nous avons lu:

It is correct the AB-320 has a 1:15 glide ratio at zero power?

At M0.8, the ratio is near 1:16
engines iddle, the flight path angle is less than 2.5° at minimum
clean speed. I have no idea about residual thrust....

Consider the cfm56-A have 2500kg thrust at FL350 and maxi cruise. You
may find the real ratio for a heavy plane (weight / 5000) unable to
reach MMo at FL350. Sorry, I never can test.
