	The glider: an Appropriate Hacker Emblem
		This is a proposal that we adopt one — the glider pattern from the Game of Life.
		If you don't know what a glider is, or why it would make a good emblem, or if you're dubious about having an emblem at all, read the FAQs page.
		When you put the glider emblem on your web page, or wear it on clothing, or display it in some other way, you are visibly associating yourself with the hacker culture.

	Animal Info - Mahogany Glider
		The mahogany glider's diet includes nectar from eucalypt blossoms and grass-trees and exudates licked from gashes cut in various plants.
		The mahogany glider nests inside the hollows of dead and living trees, either singly or in pairs.
		The mahogany glider was described as a new species in 1883 in the vicinity of Cardwell, Queensland, Australia.

	Glider Performance Airspeeds
		Similarly, the green glider has flown 3100' horizontally and 160' vertically, the yellow glider 4200' horizontally and 190' vertically, and the red glider 6200' horizontally and 320' vertically.
		The red glider has a better glide ratio, relative to the ground, than the yellow one even though the yellow glider has a better glide ratio relative to the air mass.
		When using this method be sure to remember that the glider sink rate is the sum of its sink rate within the air mass and the sink rate of the air mass itself.

		The usual flight controls in a glider consist of a pedal to operate the rudders and a control stick to operate the elevators and ailerons.
		Early gliders were launched from hills or by running forward; the machine maintained stability while in flight by the pilot’s shifting body weight.
		The hang glider, with nylon or Kevlar stretched over an aluminum frame, can reach an altitude of 20,000 ft (6100 m) and stay aloft up to 15 hours; in 1979 five hang glider pilots flew their machines (fitted with auxiliary motors) across the United States.

	Glider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gliders or Sailplanes are heavier-than-air aircraft primarily intended for unpowered flight.
		A glider was even built secretly by POWs as a potential escape method at Oflag IV-C near the end of the war in 1944.
		Gliders must be equipped with an altimeter, compass, and an airspeed indicator in most countries, and are often equipped with a variometer, turn and bank indicator and an airband radio (transceiver), each of which may be required in some countries.

	NOVA Online \| Nazi Prison Escape \| Building the Colditz Glider
		Also, there was an ideal area from which to launch a glider: the castle's chapel roof, which was hidden from the guards' watchful eyes.
		And to cover the glider's wooden frame they used bed sheets, which they doped with hot millet (part of their rations) to stiffen the fabric.
		The glider would then sail out silently over the town of Colditz, giving its occupants a good head start over the German guards, who would soon discover a bathtub in the yard and two prisoners missing.

	Forces on a Glider (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Toy gliders, made of balsa wood or styrofoam, are an excellent way for students to study the basics of aerodynamics.
		The Wright brothers perfected the design of the first airplane and gained piloting experience through a series of glider flights from 1900 to 1903.More sophisticated gliders are launched by ground based catapults, or are towed aloft by a powered aircraft then cut free to glide for hours over many miles.
		Gliders are always descending relative to the air in which they are flying.

	Sugar Glider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sugar Glider (Petaurus breviceps), sometimes called the Flying Sugar, is a small gliding possum native to eastern and northern mainland Australia, New Guinea, and the Bismarck Archipelago, and introduced to Tasmania.
		The Sugar Glider is around 16 to 20 cm (6.3 to 7.5 inches) in length, with a tail almost as long as the body and almost as thick as a human thumb, and weighs between 90 and 150 grams (3 to 5.3 oz).
		As gliders are very social creatures, often living in families in the wild, it is difficult to raise a single sugar glider in captivity.

	WHOI : Instruments : Spray Glider
		Spray gliders are robotic submarines that navigate underwater without a human crew onboard and without cables connecting them to research vessels at the sea surface.
		To steer the glider, information from the compass and altitude sensors is used to move two battery packs, one to control pitch (fore and aft angle) and the second to control roll (rotation around the axis of the glider.
		to Bermuda, the Spray Gliders is equipped with a CTD (for conductivity, temperature and depth) that measures temperature, salinity and pressure, as well as an optical sensor that measures the turbidity, which is related to the biomass in the water.

	How Gliders Fly
		Because they have no engines, gliders or sailplanes can be thought of as pure flying vehicles, staying aloft by balancing the forces of gravity, lift, drag, and thrust.
		This differential heating is what causes thermals and when a glider hits one, it can fly for hours at a time.
		Gliders are often towed by airplanes and released at a relatively high horizontal speed.

	FIRST Re-Entry Glider
		The crew member would use a gas stabilisation and control system to orient the spacecraft for retro-fire, and then to keep the glider at the correct attitude for re-entry.
		Material for the glider used an ultra-fine filament super alloy wire fabric impregnated with elastomeric silicone matrix material.
		Typical thickness was 1.5 mm except along the stagnation line surfaces where the amount of silicone was increased to double the thickness.

		Glider is the brainstorm of longtime friends and musical compadres Jim Bogios (drums-Counting Crows, Sheryl Crow, Ben Folds) and David Immergluck (guitar-Counting Crows, John Hiatt).
		Glider formed in 1998 as an excuse for some friends to play music together whenever they were in town.
		One of Glider's biggest assets is their musical ESP and insight into one another that only comes about from years of gigs and sessions...Many bands, many lands all brought together for you in one epic group.

	FAA Checkride (Practical Test) Oral Exam Preparation for Glider (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Whether gliders are your first exposure to piloting or you are thinking of adding a glider rating to an existing pilot certificate, you are embarking on an exhilarating journey.
		RideReady: Glider Pilot is both for pilots who already have an existing pilot certificate/rating and want to add a glider rating (private, commercial, or CFI - this software works for all three) and for those whose entry into flying is via gliders.
		The Private and Commercial Glider Pilot certificate knowledge requirements are actually quite similar in many ways (with the major difference between the ratings being the precision and type of maneuvers you are expected to fly and the relative degree of accuracy of your answers to oral questions).
