(1) Aircraft supported only by the dynamic action of air against its surfaces
(1) The flying lemur is an efficient glider as well as climber
(2) I used my monkey bar technique and had no problem controlling the glider .
(3) In the first section the tow aircraft pulled the glider to the required altitude.
(4) Music leaked softly from the windows behind him, when he'd resumed his seat on the glider .
(5) After the chute was inflated the glider rotated a few times and righted itself.
(6) He served as a glider pilot in the Army during the Second World War.
(7) When Claudette opened the back door she found him on the back porch already, sitting patiently on the glider , as though he hadn't expected to see her for a while.
(8) The flying lemur is an efficient glider as well as climber
(9) Her eyes settled on a glider on the other side of the porch.
(10) The pilot controls the glider with a stick.
(11) A pelican is principally a glider , he notes.
(12) He had some real success with this high performance tandem glider .
(13) As a bonus, you also have the opportunity to build two other benches, including a rocking patio glider and a gazebo bench, at a special price.
(14) The question is, once it was airborne, was it just a glider , a weakly flapping flyer, or a strong flyer?
(15) The nose pitched down and the glider rotated over its right leading edge.
(16) But simulating a glider landing in a hostile environment wasn't easy.
(17) One scholar, for instance, suggested that flapping movements first evolved in a glider to improve maneuvering and/or braking.
(18) Another design was a multi-wing glider called the Katydid.
(19) He sat back down on the porch glider , and continued with his widdle work.
(20) Acrobates is a glider and has gliding membrane running from wrist to ankle.
(21) If the ancestor was not a glider , then its wings must have developed from another function of the arms.
(22) She flopped back down into the glider , setting it swinging wildly for a moment.
(23) Move on now to consider gliders and parachuters.
(24) With large, broad wings, anhingids are excellent aerial soarers and gliders .
(25) Gliding is in some senses a modified form of parachuting, in which lift forces are produced by an airfoil-type membrane, so most gliders could also be considered part-time parachuters.
(26) Some researchers have proposed that the first pterosaurs were bipedal or quadrupedal arboreal gliders , but these hypotheses do not incorporate a robust phylogenetic and functional basis.
(27) So even though a change from gliding to flapping might be an easy idea to swallow, neither the several independently evolved gliders nor the fossil record lend it any support.
(28) Given today's gliders , getting a pilot to soar is not a problem.
(29) Single surface gliders are so much fun to fly.
(30) That principle is also at work in the spread between the feathers on the wing tips of the best low-speed gliders , such as vultures and hawks.
