Early test flights for the space shuttle used a "glider" (mass of 960 kg including pilot). After a horizontal launch at 480 km/h at a height of 3200 m , the glider eventually landed at a speed of 230 km/h .

What would its landing speed have been in the absence of air resistance?

What was the average force of air resistance exerted on it if it came in at a constant glide angle of 13 ∘ to the Earth's surface?
