The maximum range of a human-powered aircraft in steady descending flight is studied using the parabolic as well as the experimental drag-polar curves. The aircrafts assumed to have not enough power to sustain steady level flights and the results are compared with those of the powerless gliding flights. The effects of winds and the proximity to the ground surfaces on the maximum flight range are also discussed.
