    45°

    Explanation:

    -At 45° the upward and forward forces are perfectly split.

    -This perfect split ensures a longer flight time which consequently translates into a longer flight distance.

    -By launching at 45°, the vertical upward force is against gravity and the forward horizonatal force against drag.
