The sport glider at the airfield
The unpowered aircraft is on a snow-covered grass airfield outside town. Its very long wings and narrow body distinguish it from most powered airplanes, while nearby hangars provide sheltered storage for aircraft. The winter ground shows the glider in an airfield setting before or after flight rather than high in the sky.
Facts about glider flight
A glider has no engine to keep it climbing, so pilots use rising air to gain altitude and remain airborne. Warm columns of air called thermals are common sources of lift, while wind moving upward along a hill or mountain slope can also support a glider. Its long wings are efficient because they create lift with relatively little drag.
