Unfortunately to maximise glide ratio you are going to want to maximise wing surface area which isn't really optimal for both having the ability to deploy mass drones and for radar cross section.
- Robotbeat 5y agoYou maximize surface area if you want to minimize sink rate. Glide ratio is a different beast, where you want long and thin wings. Glide ratio is fairly independent of speed up to Mach 0.5 or so, so you’d want to maximize wing loading to go fast.
