gliding flight

He was the first person to make successful gliding flights.

The male approaches the female in a gliding flight, still calling as he does so.

The hind wings would also have helped control the gliding flight.

It is the earliest known example of gliding flight by mammals, scientists say.

Gliding flights of over 500 kilometers have become common.

For information about the forces in gliding flight, see lift-to-drag ratio.

Scales also help increase the lift to drag ratio in gliding flight.

Gliding flight requires an initial launch giving the object enough energy to fly.

The result is gliding flight as opposed to a simple descent like a parachute.

Birds in particular use gliding flight to minimise their use of energy.

They have a leisurely, gliding flight, settling frequently, usually with open wings.

They are capable of gliding flight, due to their bubbly light bone structure.

After a period of gliding flight, the engine could be restarted with a gas starter.

The most common human application of gliding flight is in sport and recreation using aircraft designed for this purpose.

See list List of airline flights that required gliding flight.

The louvers themselves could also be completely closed for gliding flight in the event of engine failure.

Nothing like this structural mechanism for gliding flight has previously been found in any creature living or extinct.

Gliding flight is heavier-than-air flight without the use of thrust.

Storks tend to use soaring, gliding flight, which conserves energy.

The animal had a long, stiff tail that was a stabilizing rudder for gliding flight.

Otto Lillienthal made over 200 gliding flights and was one of the first to understand flight scientifically.

Lilienthal made many successful gliding flights from 1891 onwards.

The company also offers tandem hang gliding flights.

A "flying" frog is a frog that has the ability to achieve gliding flight.

In gliding flight, the greater spotted eagle holds the feathers at the tips of the wings downward.
