DESCENT

#1. Two identical aeroplanes at different masses are descending at idle thrust. Which of the following statements correctly describes their descent characteristics?

#2. In a steady descending flight equilibrium of forces acting on the aeroplane is given by: (T=Thrust, D = Drag, W=Weight, descent angle = GAMMA)

#3. Which of the following combinations has an effect on the angle of decent in a glide? (Ignore compressibility effects).
