Re: Hurricane - glide rate
Hello
As said previously, it’s depending on a lot of factors. However, for a “clean” aircraft (flaps and gear up, no battle damages, no full tanks, no external charges...), at around optimal gliding speed, the glide ratio for the Hurricane I was approximately 8. For the Spitfire (early Marks) the figure was around 13, 12 for the Bf 109 E/F, and 14 for the P-51. Don’t take these values for more that they are worth ! J Schreiber
