Wouldn't it simply be your airplane's best glide speed?

It would be the same AoA, but not necessarily the same speed. This speed
also varies with density altitude and weight.

What prompted these questions is thinking "O.K. what if this actually
happened in the cockpit without the luxury of power curve charts and a place
to go work it all out for a ten minutes".
