HE-111 is a glider

You’re right. What I mean is that the He111 has an average aspect ratio for WWII combat types, and this is consistent with an average l:d. Latest tests (edited post ≠ 12) by jf1981 really do show some suspicious numbers. One that looks odd to me is the same l:d at 160 km/h. (where minimum sink is registered) and at 200 km/h. Another is the bad performance of Ju88... Odd.
