Yep, they do have the values published, just not labeled "best glide speed". It's found in the take off data speeds.
I don't know anything about 2 engine fighter jet performance so excuse the ignorance. But if you were to lose an engine right after liftoff, is there a speed at which you climb for best angle to ensure obstacle clearance, etc? If so, do you climb to that altitude, then level out to accelerate and then climb at a best rate?
Or do you just just keep climbing at specific speed all the way up?
