What the diference between an glider and an airplane?

A glider is an aircraft that does not have an engine and relies on natural forces like wind and gravity for flight. It typically launches from a high point and glides through the air. An airplane, on the other hand, is powered by engines that generate thrust to propel it through the air.


What is the major difference between a glider and a powered airplane?

The major difference is that a glider relies on natural forces like wind and thermals to stay airborne, while a powered airplane uses an engine to generate thrust for propulsion. Gliders need to constantly seek out rising air currents to maintain altitude, while powered airplanes can fly independently of external sources of lift.


Who found the airplane?

George Cayley built the first glider, Clement Ader built the first self powered airplane, and Wilbur & Orville Wright built the first self powered and controllable airplane.

Who was the first person to invent the aeroplane?

Orville and Wilbur Wright built the first airplane that flew under its own power, so they are usually called the inventors of the airplane. What the Wright Brothers actually invented was a gasoline engine light enough to put on an airplane; the first "flying machine" was the glider of Sir George Cayel. The combination of Cayel's glider and the Wrights' engine created the powered airplane. (And seriously, Cayel took the glider idea of Leonardo DaVinci and made one that flew.) And that is the story of most inventions: a person takes something that someone else thought up and makes a better or more useful product from it.
