For flight to be achieved then you must create a force of lift greater than the weight of the glider. this is achieved by the use of an airofoil. ie the wings of the plane.
as an airofoil travels through the air the leading edge cuts the airflow. air flowing over the top of the wings travels faster than the air under the wing Faster air = Lower pressure.
As there is lower pressure above the wing the force of lift is created. However to create this airflow the glider must be traveling forward at a sufficient speed to create sufficient lift.
Being a form of non powered flight it cannot do this alone. that is why it is towed to to the required altitude. Unhitched, And allowed to fall at a controlled speed (glide) downward .
to control the speed at which the glider falls, the pilot uses the pitch of the plane. nose up slows descent, nose down increases rate of descent, but also allows you to pick up forward velocity which can be used to re ascend.

What the diference between an glider and an airplane?
a glider does not have a motor to power it along whereas an airplane does tand that is why a glider does not stay in the air for very long
What is 500kg in stone?
500kg is 78.74 stone.
How many grams are there in 500kg?
1000g=1kg so 500kg=500,000g
What objects use air resistance?
a parachute and a glider
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.

How does a plane fly with no engine?
A plane with no engine is a glider. They use the air currents to stay aloft.
How does a hand glider stay in the air?
I think that a hang glider achieves flight by soaring through the air by getting a running start and the wings also help it to fly.Kiana xoxoxox
What is the difference between a glider and powered aircraft?
a glider is sorta like a parachute and uses thewind to stay up but go's farther and a powered air plane can go up and down because it has its own power
What is 500kg in stone?
500kg is 78.74 stone.
What does glider work?
By glider do you mean like paper airplane?? it is held up by air pressure,,This will not work on the moon. There is no air there.
How do you unlock air glider in Kirby air ride?
Air Glider is one of the random Stadium minigames that can appear at the end of City Trial mode.

Mg multiply by 500kg is how many mg?
500kg = 500,000,000mg
Is glider the older air transportation or is it the hot air balloon?
I think that the hot air balloon was not a transportation in old times. The wright brothers invented an airplane that looked a bit like a glider, so there are chances that the glider might be used for transportation.
How many grams are there in 500kg?
1000g=1kg so 500kg=500,000g
How a glider works?
it uses air to glide
