| The lift-to-drag ratio is the lift required for level flight (weight) divided by the drag produced at the airspeed and angle of attack required to produce that lift. The L/D ratio for a particular angle of attack is equal to the power-off glide ratio. | The lift-to-drag ratio is the lift required for level flight (weight) divided by the drag produced at the airspeed and angle of attack required to produce that lift.
