Question 1
The diagram shows a view of a model glider from above.
The aspect ratio of a wing is the length of the wingspan divided by the length of the chord. The higher the aspect ratio, the more effectively a plane will glide.
The following photographs show four birds.
Which bird would be the most effective glider?
