glider: A pilot of glider aircraft
glider: Any heavier-than-air aircraft optimised for unpowered flight
glider: Anything that glides, especially an animal or aircraft
motor gliders: plural form of motor glider
sugar gliders: plural form of sugar glider
glider: an aircraft that is like an airplane except that it has no engine and is carried along by air currents
glider: One who, or that which, glides
glider: aircraft supported only by the dynamic action of air against its surfaces
glider: 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
glider: 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

glider: A configuration which recurs periodically, each time at a fixed offset from the last appearance
glider: A highly efficient engineless aeroplane Capable of flying for long periods in gently rising air currents (thermals)
glider: {i} engineless aircraft; hang-glider; person or thing which glides
