Title: Explain lift-to-drag ratio.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training I (20053-I) > Section: Examining the Forces that Act on Aircraft

Explanation should include the following:

- The lift-to-drag ratio (L/D) is the amount of lift generated by a wing or airfoil compared to its drag.
- A ratio of L/D indicates airfoil efficiency.
- Aircraft with higher L/D ratios are more efficient than those with lower L/D ratios.
