Fig. 4. (A) Coefficient of lift, (B) coefficient of drag, and (C) lift-to-drag
ratio vs angle of attack. The range of lift coefficients used by each
glider is similar, although they used different ranges of angles of attack. No
correlation was detected between lift coefficient and angle of attack. There
appears to be no correlation between angle of attack and drag, but a multiple
regression analysis detected a significant positive relationship. Multiple
regression analysis detected a significant negative correlation between angle
of attack and lift-to-drag ratio. Points represent averages over a glide
sequence for 4 animals (Ind1–4).
