If You mean a Hang Glider, the operator steers or pilots the craft by shifting his or her weight, there are special harnesses, etc. this also works with special lift parachutes which are of an airfoil type. If you are talking about sit-down gliders with enclosed cockpits, they have all of the basic controls of a regular plane, except there is no throttle or engine controls of any type, maybe a battery ampere-indicator as there are electrical appliance including radios. The sit-down glider has a control stick and rudder pedals, and brakes on the top halves of them(Rather like so-called swing-brakes on Cranes!)

What makes the hot air balloon move forward?
Hot air balloons move forward by changing altitude to catch the wind blowing in different directions at various altitudes. By adjusting their altitude, pilots can steer the balloon towards their desired direction. The movement is controlled by the pilot using burner and venting techniques to navigate and steer the balloon.
How does a hot air balloon move?
a hot airballon heats up the air inside of it which makes it less dense then the colder air around it causing it to have lift but the only movement that they can really control is up and down the rest depends on the air currents
Why do you think that traveling by hot air balloon isn't a very efficient way to get from place to place?
You must follow the wind, you cannot steer.
How do you drive an hot air balloon?
To fly a hot air balloon, the pilot uses burners to heat the air in the balloon, which causes it to rise. By adjusting the amount of heat and finding different wind currents at different altitudes, the pilot can steer the balloon in different directions. Landing involves releasing hot air and using the deflation vent to decrease altitude slowly.
How does hot and cold air have an effect on an balloon?
If there is warm air in the balloon, cooler air makes the balloon rise and if there is cold air in the balloon warmer air makes the balloon fall.
When you heat the air inside a hot air balloon, it rises. Why does this occur?
D: The hot air inside the balloon becomes less dense than the air outside the balloon.
Is an air inside a balloon a pure substance?
The air inside a hot air balloon is the same as normal air around the balloon and the air you're breathing, only heated by the flame inside the balloon, hence HOT AIR balloon.
How does a hot air balloon come down?
In rising, a hot air balloon works the same way as a helium balloon : the hot air inside is less dense than the surrounding air outside the balloon. The heavier outside air pushes below the balloon and forces it upward. To come down is easier in a hot air balloon. Unless it is continually reheated, its temperature reverts to that of the surrounding air and the balloon settles back to the Earth under its own weight. Vents that release the heated air (like venting helium in a helium balloon) is an alternative to increase the speed of descent.
Why does a balloon and the balloon with air weigh the same?
A balloon has a certain weight due to the material it's made of. When you blow air into the balloon, the weight of the air inside balances out the weight of the balloon material, making the total weight of the balloon and air the same as the original balloon.
How can you blow air in or out to inflate a balloon?
To inflate a balloon, you can blow air into it by using your lungs to push air out of your mouth and into the balloon. Alternatively, you can use a pump to push air into the balloon.
What is the direction control of an hot air balloon?
The pilot of a hot air balloon uses the burners to move in different directions. Some of the air is moving east, while some of the air is moving west. The pilot of the balloon will either deflate or inflate the balloon to catch the wind in a particular direction.
What is the buoyant force of a hot air balloon?
The buoyant force on a hot air balloon is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the balloon. When the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to rise. The buoyant force allows the balloon to float in the air.
