Said another way, the air is so thin on Mars, you might as well be trying to
soar on the moon. It doesn't matter that the gravity is less; without air, you're going to have a 0:1 glide ratio! Chris "puffnfresh" wrote in message ... Given the lesser density of air on Mars what would be the glide ratio of a PW-5 starting at an altitude of say 5000 feet? (lesser gravity, too) Is it worth book a trip in next few years?
