alinate - glider

thingiverse

Silent flyer soaring effortlessly through air - wings spread wide like a majestic bird. Aliante and glider terms are often used interchangeably yet have subtle distinctions depending on regional context and design specifics of each craft type. Both employ the basic principle of lifting heavy payloads while generating minimal thrust utilizing only lift from air currents around wings thus giving them remarkable energy efficiency levels reaching even tens or hundreds of miles in optimal flying conditions sometimes called soarings with altitude increases exceeding one hundred thousand feet before gradual descending into safe landing spots at predetermined targets such as remote mountain ridges scenic hillsides and vast coastal expanses across wide stretches of countryside areas under fair skies during optimal weather periods when suitable winds aloft exist facilitating longer flight spans reaching maximum altitudes where conditions favor high elevation flight performances with notable success records achieved among glider pilots including distance speed time and other notable feats documented worldwide in aviation histories archives.
