Türkisch - Englisch
glider
A sailplane
In the Game of Life cellular automaton, a configuration which recurs periodically, each time at a fixed offset from the last appearance
A pilot of glider aircraft
Any heavier-than-air aircraft optimised for unpowered flight
Anything that glides, especially an animal or aircraft
an aircraft that is like an airplane except that it has no engine and is carried along by air currents
One who, or that which, glides
aircraft supported only by the dynamic action of air against its surfaces
An aircraft without an engine that is towed to a given height and then set free to glide on air currents Used for sport and sightseeing
A glider is an aircraft without an engine, which flies by floating on air currents. a light plane that flies without an engine. Nonpowered heavier-than-air craft capable of sustained flight. Early experimenters in glider flight included George Cayley, who built the first man-carrying glider in 1853, and Otto Lilienthal (1848-1896), who introduced tail stabilizers on his first practical man-carrying craft in 1891. Improvements by Octave Chanute (1832-1910) in 1896 and by Wilbur and Orville Wright in 1902 perfected the control needed for developing the Wrights' powered airplane in 1903. The slender-winged glider was launched by being towed behind an airplane or a car. Gliders were used in World War II to carry troops. Today they are mainly used for recreation; the sailplane type is built for soaring on the lift from thermals. See also hang gliding
A two sash window that opens by sliding one panel horizontally in a track
1 A fixed-wing aircraft specially designed to glide, or to glide and soar This kind of aircraft ordinarily has no powerplant
A vehicle without powertrain
An aircraft that flies without using an engine. If the pilot of a glider is hung beneath the wing, then the glider may be either a hang glider type or a paraglider. When the pilot is in a fuselage and not hung below the wing, then the glider may also be referred to as a sailplane
A configuration which recurs periodically, each time at a fixed offset from the last appearance
A highly efficient engineless aeroplane Capable of flying for long periods in gently rising air currents (thermals)
{i} engineless aircraft; hang-glider; person or thing which glides
