Hi, I know a bigger ratio in a frontwing improves glide and reduces the lift , but I think we all suppose that all big ratio foils are thinner, which is also good for glide but could not be always the case.
On the other hand, two foils with the same lenght and thickness but one with more cord than the other, the wider would have better lift but worse glide?

Roughly speaking yes, but you need to factor in speed. You could have the opposite result at high speed or low speed depending on the foil profile chosen (which may still be the same thickness).
