Glider

A glider is a type of aircraft that flies without an engine. Instead of relying on thrust, it uses air currents and gravity to stay aloft and maneuver through the sky. Gliders are typically launched into the air by a tow plane or a winch system and then glide smoothly, using rising warm air currents called thermals to gain altitude. These aircraft are designed with long, slender wings that provide excellent lift and allow for efficient, sustained flight. Gliders are often used for recreational flying, competitive sports, and pilot training. Their silent, graceful movement through the air offers a unique and peaceful flying experience.
