Gliders Prepared for Takeoff on Grass Airfields
Gliders are unpowered aircraft designed to soar smoothly through thermal air currents. Resting on grassy airfield ground, a two-seat glider relies on ground equipment like winches to reach flight altitude without an engine.
How a Cable Winch Launches a Glider
A stationary launch winch uses a powerful engine on the ground to reel in a long steel cable attached to the aircraft. As the cable pulls the glider rapidly across the field, the wings generate lift and propel the glider high into the sky. Once at safe altitude, the pilot releases the cable connection to soar freely.
