Gliders, also known as sailplanes, are a special type of plane that belongs to the “unpowered aircraft” category, meaning they have no engines. But how does a glider fly if there’s no engine then? The answer is using currents of air! Gliders take advantage of these updrafts of air to create “lift” to power their aircraft and be able to stay up in t...
Although they share some similarities, the truth is that airplanes and gliders couldn’t be more different! As stated above, gliders do not have any engines attached to them and only use lift momentum to keep themselves up in the air.

According to most gliding clubs, you should – ideally- fly once pe...
