Larger gliders were also used to land heavy equipment like anti-tank guns and (A car suitable for traveling over rough terrain) jeeps, which was a major improvement in the power available to the otherwise lightly-armed paratroop forces.
A glider was even built secretly by (A person who surrenders to (or is taken by) the enemy in time of war) POWs as a potential escape method at Colditz Castle near the end of the war in 1944.
Others ("self-sustaining motor gliders," also referred to as "turbo" or "sustainer" gliders) are equipped with motors just powerful enough to allow the glider to climb slowly but they must be launched like unpowered gliders.

Larger gliders were also used to land heavier equipment like anti-tank guns and jeeps, which was a major improvement in the power of the otherwise lightly-armed paratroop forces.
Because of their continuous use in gliders, electronic variometers are common, which code their reading into an acoustic signal of variable amplitude and frequency, so that it can be used without drawing the pilot's attention away from watching/scanning airspace and weather.
Some sailplanes ("self-launching motor gliders") are actually equipped with motors, usually retractable into the fuselage, powerful enough to allow the gliders to launch independently.

Touring Motor Gliders (TMG) are powered sailplanes with an engine / propeller, which cannot be retracted into the fuselage.
Usually these types of glider are designed to be cheap powered planes.
As touring planes the TMGs are very efficient, because their aerodynamic design is superior to that of standard single engine planes.
