They glide better because they have much less drag. They're slick and
don't have landing gear and other cruft sticking out (and what antennas and stuff they do have are much smaller in ratio to the overall area). I had heard that airliners will generally glide a 3 degree glideslope, clean and power off. Something that GA airplanes have no hope of doing. It is a FAST ILS though - less than a minute at 250K. - Mark
