Gliders are airplanes heavier than air that can be kept in flight without an engine. How can you fly without an engine? That is what is explained in this video in addition to several curiosities about these aircraft.
According to Wikipedia a glider is a fixed-wing aircraft that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its lifting surfaces, and whose free flight does not depend on an engine. Most gliders do not have an engine, although motor-gliders have small engines for extending their flight when necessary by sustaining the altitude (normally a sailplane is on a continuously descending slope) with some being powerful enough to take off self-launch.

Am I the only person who thinks we lost something when we lost the cheerful - sometimes quite stunning - colour schemes of the old gliders? Boats are GRP and they're turned out in range of colours. Its all in the Gel coat anyway. Hell - Its actually easier to recognise at a tiny glance something which is day-glo Pink or Orange, or even gloss black isn't a cloud. And if its near you that *has* to matter. So why has it changed?

@@ShayBowskill a glider doesn't fly straight for 100% of the time. It's circling in thermals and because of that it wouldn't have consistent wear when the top half is white and the bottom half isn't. In addition the sun is moving as well, you will not always get sun from the top, you usually take off in the morning and land in the afternoon or evening.

I flew in one when stationed in Germany during the mid 1980s. They had a Chevy v8 at the end of the field, approx. 700 feet away. It had a rope winch to launch the bird into the sky. Believe me that is some kind of launch! Dead start to heart attack, what feeling. It cost me approximately 10 dollars for 20 minutes. Pure quiet, except for the slight wind. Soaring up and looking for updrafts, etc. loved it, loved Germany and other surrounding countries to travel.

@Desmond Bagley Most glider clubs, and business's which do training have 2 seat gliders. The most common is a Grob 103 but there are others as well. Once you get your training typically you fly in a single seat glider. The reason is the single seat has shorter wings so it can be rigged by one person. Which means removing the glider from a trailer and attaching the wings. Lot of times you find passengers like Wives or GF find it boring or get tired of doing tight turns in a thermal. It's fun take up family for an hour or so at a time maybe do a few aerobatics. You would not want to own a 2 seat glider but only fly it single seat typically they are only used for non training rides, and training. I own a single seat but if my wife wants to go up for a few hours I rent a 2 seat model cost is $60 an hour. If you live near a glider club that is best way to go because cost to rent the gliders is cheaper then glider business's.The hobby isn't cheap about 8-10k get a license if you rent, and 20k min to buy a used decent single seat glider. You can rent usually $40-60 an hour, or join a club which is the best way to go.

It isnt a cheap hobby... flying small prop planes would be cheaper. You can buy a good used prop plane for under 20k the only gliders you are getting for that price arent going to be good. Then with the glider you have to pay somebody else to tow you up which isnt cheap. This isnt a hobby you do on a whim.

6:23 you don't have to put weight in the wings. Water ballast is used when the weather is extremely good so you can fly faster. It essentially shifts the entire polarity of the glider to higher speeds, so you have higher efficiency at higher speeds, the drawback is that it is harder to gain altitude. This is however not really common practice as it is rarely practical for most pilots, many high performance planes with engines are already heavy enough so water is not used that often. cheers!

Why do gliders gain altitude? It is because they want to gain energy, and that increase in altitude gives them more potential energy, which means they can stay up for longer. Gliders don't really want to fly above 10,000 feet because they are not pressurised and the oxygen in the air is too thin for the pilot. Adding water to a glider adds mass, and the potential energy the aircraft has is equal to mgh, mass x height x gravity. So you may not gain as much height with the extra water mass but you are still gaining potential energy. With water onboard, for the same increase increase in potential energy, you gain less height, so when you finally reach 10,000 feet the aircraft is carrying a lot more potential energy than without the water. So you are maximising how much potential energy the aircraft can have, enabling you to remain airborne for longer before having to land out or to find another thermal.
@hendrikepping9075
@hendrikepping9075 9 ай бұрын
@Dean G, you are right when it comes to energy, but we glider pilots are loading water to our wings to fly at higher speeds, which brings more points in competitons. Also we are able to fly higher as 10.000 ft, as most of the modern glider are having build in space for oxygen bottles.

Belive me: A start from a winch is quite an experience. I grew up with two PPL pilots and flew sometimes by myself when in the air. 1. When the thing starts and your head is not in the back of you seat, it will smash in the back of you seat. it hurts!!! xD 2. If the plane starts climbing, it does not do that softly. it just feels like you're in a rocket launch (up to 2.5g) straight up in the air. 3. because winch starts ar tipically on a mountain plateau - even if you're just 400m above the airfield - your first view is down the whole valley - and that can be fucking scary! Because what you're seeing is the hight to the airfield (400m) + the whole hight of the mountain plateau (X) So just 30 seconds after smashing your head and having a rocket start, you find yourself in a absolutely silent, 2 cm thick nutshell in 1.400m above the ground... I LOVE IT! :D That moment when the pilot releases the rope...everything turns silent and you're just sitting in the air, free to do what you want (for a few minutes)

I watched your video because of the beauty of the "glass ships" that you ptesented. Oh yeah, I once pulled a no-no by using ridge lift in a maneuver that I called "dragging my wing on the mountaiin". While being incredably scenic, this is incredably dangerous to attempt.

I used to fly the Grob 109b (Grob, not Messerschmitt!), which is a 2 seat self-propelled motor glider. Very versatile as you could fly it as a regular powered aircraft but also feather the prop and operate as a glider with a decent 1:28 glide ratio. Gliding is fun but even better with a friend in the side seat!

​@Jack Casey Thermals are hot air rising yes, but you misunderstood my comment. How does hot air begin rising in the firstplace? You should try gliding (after quarentine), you will feel it for yourself. ^_^ If everything was flat, heated the same, no wind, no cloads, the potenial is there, but thermals won't start in any perticular spot, if at all. As there are no initiators. If you have a bonfire, concrete structure, etc. that cause a localised difference in the potenial, then a thermal will start because of those disturbances. If wind has to go up over a large structure, or hill, it can disturb the air and start a thermal. Perhaps me saying: 'Thermals can be initiated by ridge lift' was the wrong term of phrase, I hope you understand what I mean now.

Yes the video is excellent, except the vario sound @9:09 for -100ft/min sounds more like -500 ft/min ( -2,5 m/s) ;) In fact the U-2 spyplane was a glider with Jet engine. Using thermals for commercial Transportation is not (YET) feasable because of travel speed and the dependance of "good" weather because you need the sun to heat the ground and therefore the air mass directly above it to get thermal lift. In wintertimes it wouldn´t work because of lack of sunny days, and the lower angle of the sun, therefore lesser heating the ground, and sometimes you even have snow with a higher albedo (reflecting the sun rays). But theres another theory (in fact not a theory anymore) of dynamic soaring, using the different windspeeds (wind shear) in different air layers (e.g. Albatross use this form of soaring above the ocean waves).

An Anemometer is a stationary instrument for measuring airspeed, generally of the rotating cup or vane type. Aircraft use an Air Speed Indicator. This does not directly measure the speed of the air passing the aircraft, but the air pressure developed by the forward motion. This air pressure is piped into a spring loaded bellows which is connected to the air speed indicator needle. The static air pressure, taken from the side of the measuring probe, does not change with speed, and this is piped into the Air Speed Indicator instrument housing, to balance the air from the forward entry point on the probe. This compensates in some part for the change in air density with increasing altitude. The instrument can sometimes have a manual temperature compensation input to give true airspeed.

I'm assuming you either have a cluster of communities in a given area hence a glider would be helpful to travel between them or if you are traveling long distances, you're doing it by taking stops through the country side. In either of the 2 situations a glider would be a better option than a car most days of the week. Any precaution would be risky in zombie-land, be it a by car, by foot or through air.

I bought a Parkzone Radian RC glider back about 11 years ago. I remember the first couple of times I "flew" it. While no where close to the real experience, it was absolutely thrilling to watch it take off with a hand toss, power up the on board electric motor and folding prop, then switch off and let it float a hundred feet above or so, for what seemed like hours. I would find thermals up in the air and notice even from my ground perspective as it would remain at or gain altitude. My neck would usually hurt before it would come down haha. Amazing fun. I think my longest time with motor off was about 20 minutes before I powered on and went back up to start over.

A glider (aka sailplane) can stay aloft the better part of the day gaining thousands of feet in altitude and covering several hundreds of miles in distance. All without an engine - but utilizing the upward air flows in the atmosphere - like thermals. That is *real* flying - in contrast to *forced* flying ;)
