A glider is powered by the energy it gains from altitude and the natural lift generated by air currents. It does not have an engine; instead, it relies on gravity and aerodynamic design to glide through the air. Pilots can utilize thermal updrafts, ridge lift, and wave lift to extend their flight duration and distance. Essentially, gliders convert potential energy from height into kinetic energy while navigating through the atmosphere.

How much does a glider weigh?
It depends if it is a model glider or a manned glider.
Are sugar gliders the only type of gliders?

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 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.
