		Gliding (or soaring) is a recreational activity and competitive sport where individuals fly un-powered aeroplanes known as gliders or sailplanes.
		A glide bomb is an aerial bomb that is modified with aerodynamic surfaces to modify its flight path from a purely ballistic one, to a flatter, gliding, one.
		The glide ratio of an aircraft is often strongly correlated to the efficiency of the wing, known as the lift-to-drag ratio.
