Ocean vs Paramotor motor out w/ slow paraglider is better? - glide distance charts Deep Dive
Does this align with the real world or did I make a foundational mistake? Please comment below if you know.
This began because I left comment on a video about how bad a headwind would impact your glide distance, without actually knowing for sure (a bad habit). It then snowballed into this full blown video where I tried to show my basis and work to make sure I didn't make a mistake which would mislead everyone.
Once wing configurations and glide ratios are empirically testing I can attempt to confirm these charts by flying in a known headwind and tailwind and see theory matches reality aka empirical testing.
[Correction factor] is taking into account your glide ratio is not exactly 7.5:1
[Safety factor] is taking into account error and adds a buffer
