What are the assumptions for the “132 miles” figure? At the very least wind is going to affect that- if you’re in a headwind you could probably make it closer to 150 miles (albeit not a huge gain).

It's other way around, with headwind you will get less distance over ground

Yeah that's why I said at most, so assuming still air and perfect piloting. The worst case is lawn dart, 0 glide.
35000 ft x 20 ratio x 1/5280 mi/ft
