Gliders have a shape of wings that give them lift as long as they are moving forward.A Glider however (Assuming it has no motor), cannot (even in the most ideal situations) exceed the height it was released from.Wrong. Many gliders are pulled to a height by another airplane or even a car or launched into the air from a hill and the climb higher. Gliders catch turmals of rising air. The rising air causes the air to flow over the wings even while the glider's nose is pointed into a climb.Check out the world's altitude record for a glider. The record is about 52,000 feet. This occurs in the Rockie Mountains where the air flowing over the mountains during the late winter. These gliders are NOT released from that altitude.
