huge difference in the glide ratio of SR-71 & U-2
Yep. Like the difference between a lead-covered high drag rock and a feather. Well, in view of its speed, I doubt the SR-71 had high drag. I'd like to hear what Mary Shafer has to say about that. And "lead-covered...rock" seems to imply you think weight affects glide ratio. It does not. A U-2 constructed of lead would have the same glide ratio as one constructed of balsa wood. It would glide faster, but just as far. vince norris
