How does convection work on a glider?
If the glider has a roasing chicken inside, it will cause some convection waves, this will lift the Glider up.
When was the glider was invented?
The first glider was invented in 1891.
What the diference between an glider and an airplane?
a glider does not have a motor to power it along whereas an airplane does tand that is why a glider does not stay in the air for very long
What is the independent variable of a glider?
The independent variable of a glider, if it is an air glider, would be the thermal updrafts available at any flight. Without effective thermals, it makes it difficult for a glider to maintain lift and develop elevation for sustained glides.
How does weight affect a glider?
Weight is the main factor in the flight of the glider. More weight means the glider does not fly great distances. If the weight is less it will travel more distance.
How does convection work on a glider?
If the glider has a roasing chicken inside, it will cause some convection waves, this will lift the Glider up.
Is glider use natural convection or create by itself convection by using any heating meterialial?
it uses natural convection
How do glider use convection to stay flying?
Convection allows warmer air to rise because it is less dense than colder air. Because temperatures are greater near the ground (due to the ground's absorption of infrared radiation from the sun), the air at ground level tends to be warmer than the air at higher altitudes. Therefore, the air at ground level rises to form convection currents (currents of rising air), which, when impacting a glider's wings, generates lift, which allows them to remain in the air, or even rise to higher altitudes.
What is a gliders?
A glider is a light engineless aircraft designed to glide after being towed aloft or launched from a catapult. A glider is also a species of small possum, native to Australia. As its name suggests, it is capable of gliding through the air.
How much does a glider weigh?
It depends if it is a model glider or a manned glider.
What is so special about the animal known as the sugarglider?
The animal known as the sugar glider is a marsupial with the capability to glide through the air in a flying fashion. The sugar glider is rare and related to the possum.
Are sugar gliders the only type of gliders?
No: There are actually six different species of glider found in Australia. They include:Yellow-bellied Glider - Petaurus australisSugar Glider - Petaurus brevicepsSquirrel Glider - Petaurus phalangerGreater Glider - Petaurioides volansFeathertail Glider - Acrobates pygmaeusMahogany Glider - Petaurus gracilis
What are the gliding marsupials?
The gliding marsupials are the gliders, and they are all members of the possum family. There are six different species of glider found in Australia. They include:Yellow-bellied Glider - Petaurus australisSugar Glider - Petaurus brevicepsSquirrel Glider - Petaurus phalangerGreater Glider - Petaurioides volansFeathertail Glider - Acrobates pygmaeusMahogany Glider - Petaurus gracilis
What is the name for the convection currents used by glider pilots to gain height?
They are called THERMALS. Check out http://www.gliding.co.uk/whatisgliding/soaring.htm for detailed information about these and other sources of lift used in soaring sailplanes (gliders).
How is the yawing in a glider detected?
How is the yawing in a glider detected?
What is the name of the aircraft that has no engine?
A glider or hang-glider
Is the sugar glider a marsupialia?
The sugar glider is a marsupial
