In a no wind condition, a fixed-wing aircraft can glide (engine
off) at a horizontal distance of 1 nautical miles for every 1000 ft
of height. Suddenly, the airplane encounters a head wind of 20
knots. What will be the angle of descent (in degrees) of the
aircraft? The airspeed during the glide can be taken as 60 knots
and the wind direction as horizontal. Round off your answer to the
tenths place. Indicate only the numeric value of your
response.
