BTW, two B-747s side-by-side at 35,000', one weighs 700,000#, the

other,

500,000#.
If all engines are shut down, which one will glide the farthest

distance?

If they are both flown at the best glide speed for their weight, they

will go

the same distance, but the heavier one will get there first.
