- Glider (aircraft) - Wikipedia
Gliders are principally used for the air sports of gliding, hang gliding and paragliding However some spacecraft have been designed to descend as gliders and in the past military gliders have been used in warfare Some simple and familiar types of glider are toys such as paper planes and balsa wood gliders
- Glider | Aircraft, Types, Uses History | Britannica
glider, nonpowered heavier-than-air craft capable of sustained flight Though many men contributed to the development of the glider, the most famous pioneer was Otto Lilienthal (1848–96) of Germany, who, with his brother Gustav, began experiments in 1867 on the buoyancy and resistance of air

Gliders What is a glider? A glider is a special kind of aircraft that has no engine There are many different types of gliders Paper airplanes are the simplest gliders to build and fly Balsa wood or Styrofoam toy gliders are an inexpensive vehicle
- How Gliders Work - HowStuffWorks
In its simplest form, a glider is an unpowered aircraft, an airplane without a motor While many of the same design, aerodynamic and piloting factors that apply to powered airplanes also apply to gliders, that lack of a motor changes a lot about how gliders work
- How Gliders Fly, And How Theyre Different Than Powered . . .
While airplanes and gliders share many design, aerodynamic, and piloting factors, the lack of an engine fundamentally changes the way a glider flies Since there's no engine taking up space, a glider is sized around the cargo it carries; the fuselage is designed to be as small and light as possible
