how fast is it.........

if a small plane with glide ratio 7:1
glide ratio 7:1 means plane moves forward 7 feet
for every 1 foot altitude (height) lost.

so if a plane at 10000 feet in air has its engine shut off.
how fast will it be moving forward when the plane touches the ground.

FROM YOUR INFORMATION, WE WOULD NEED TO KNOW INFORMATION THAT WOULD TELL US HOW FAST IT WOULD BE FALLING, AMONG OTHER THINGS.

from 10000 feet it takes 2 minutes to land.

You haven't told us how fast the plane was moving when the engines were shut off, you moron

dumbass I said with engine shut off.
you should have assumed stall speed starting at 0 km/hr
which is not likely or posible.

but its just a simple math problem.
you also want me to mention the drag coefficient
and wind velocity and weight of the plane,
and the angle of the stall.
dammit It was a simple question.

>>5 you should have assumed stall speed starting at 0 km/hr which is not likely or posible.

Why the fuck would we assume something that's not likely or possible?

>> 'dumbass I said with engine shut off'
Well, you really are a fucking moron aren't you?  Do you think we can't read the OP ourselves?  You said 'so if a plane at 100000 feet in air has its engine shut off' which implies you've just shut off the engine.  Otherwise, what would be the point of mentioning the engine - it would have been better to use a glider as an example you toerag.

obviously you dumb ass have never been in a small single engine plane.  lots of then you can shut the engine off in the air and glide back to the ground.
or sometimes the engine stalls, yes it happens.  lots of the time the engine starts back up while you are gliding down.

the main reason for the question was to find out the speed of the aricraft if the engine dosen't turn back on.
but all you turds obviously dont have a clue, but will just talk shit because thats all you can do. you damn homos.

about 100-150 km/h, depending on drag.

Easy to land in normal winds.

No, you're just fucking retarded, and can't grasp simple logic or aspects of English that would be beneficial to having a discussion in which anyone would need to understand anything you say.

Thanks, it was that simple.

We are still missing information, since any plane could not fall at a predetermined speed (i.e. 9.8ms^-2) while using that fall speed to move itself forward, so we can't give you an answer.

the basic question was you start at a still plane
not moving forward, not goin up not coming down.
still frozen in air.  10,000 feet in the air.
with a glide ratio of 7:1 what is glide ratio is already explained.  what speed would it hit the ground.
again there is no drag, there is no cross winds,
weight wouldn't matter because of glide ratio.
angle is not important again glide ratio.
distance only height is important.
all the random factors have been taken out of the question.

just needed to know what speed it will hit the ground when it lands. in Km/Hr.

>>13
you're very, very retarded.

it will land at 7 feet per foot speed, with the information given, if one is not to think about gravity.

lol

but seriously, how are you supposed to figure out how fast lenght/time the plane is travelling, when you don't have any information on how long it takes the plane to move 7 feet.

but if we take gravity into account we have to figure out how the glide rate affects the 9.8m/s^2 generic drop.

so i'd iamgine it's something like the attraction speed divided by the drop rate and then measured out for a 10000ft drop or something like that, but i'm not really sure of any of this.

I mention before it takes 2 minutes to land from 10,000 feet. on a 7:1 glide ratio plane.  I just forgot to mention on the re-question.
