Description of method for making aerodynamic calculations necessary during non-Darwinian evolution of glider; method takes into account glider's weight, span, aspect ratio, parasitic drag, wing thickness, taper and twist, and wing section characteristics; when these are known, glider's complete performance curve can be derived in few minutes.
