→The Non-Dimensional Polar and the Determination of the Polar in Practice
\[ V_S = AV^3 + \frac{B}{V} \]
With \( A=\frac{\rho C_{D0}}{2 \omega} \) and \( B=\frac{2k \omega}{\pi A \rho}\).
At best glide, by our calculations from the previous sections, the best glide speed is given by (notice the change in notation for reading convenience):
Readers are recommended to ''The Paths of Soaring Flight'' in which a more thorough mathematical treatment is available. This book can be downloaded as PDF by simply Googling the title.
