just cause they do
What else can I help you with?
Do fighter jets thermal?
If you mean fly on thermals like some gliders, NO.
Why do gliders rise when they go over a town?
Gliders can gain altitude when flying over a town due to thermals, which are pockets of warmer air that rise from the ground. When a glider encounters a thermal, it can circle within it to gain altitude, similar to how birds use thermals to soar without flapping their wings.
Thermals in the air are due to?
Thermals in the air are caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, resulting in pockets of warm air rising and creating upward air currents. These thermals play a key role in the formation of clouds, precipitation, and can also influence the behavior of aircraft and gliders.
Does a glider have an airfoil?
Yes, gliders have an airfoil very similar to that of a powered airplane. Gliders do generally have a wider wingspan in order to handle better at low-airspeed & therefore take better advantage of thermals or ridge-lift.
What is soaring?
Soaring is basically the act of flying through the air without the aid of any propulsion(engine) and riding thermals(rising warm air) to get higher and higher into the air. Birds do it all the time. Also, there are aircraft that can achieve this type of flying. Gliders/Sailplanes as they're called are taken up to a certain altitude by a powered plane or winch, release and fly freely like a bird. Finding thermals will allow you to gain altitude and prolong the flight. Thermals are not always there though. This makes soaring very challenging.
What bands sound like the thermals?
The pixies(a little)
When was The Thermals created?
The Thermals was created in 2002.
How do you use thermals in a sentence?
thermals are used when cold
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).
What are sugar gliders pouches like?
sugar gliders tend to have the same poch as a kangaroo
How do gliders use thermal?
Gliders use thermals ( warm updrafts) to gain altitude, lift and Momentum- Flying over the stacks of a power house- assuming all stacks were (Up) one could gain about 500 feet of lift from each stack- or 2500 feet if you hit all five from the right angle! seagulls do the same thing, conserving their wing muscles. wait till the Public service has all Five stacks fired up and you can try the idea , not too close!
Why do gliders work?
Gliders work by exploiting aerodynamic lift generated by their wings as they move through the air. When air flows over the wings, it creates a pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces, allowing the glider to stay aloft. Their design minimizes drag and maximizes lift-to-drag ratio, enabling them to soar for extended periods without an engine. Additionally, gliders can take advantage of rising air currents, such as thermals, to gain altitude and extend their flight.
