Results for tag: "Glider Aircraft"

The Glider Aircraft market is a subset of the Aircraft industry. Glider Aircraft are unpowered aircraft that use naturally occurring currents of rising air to remain airborne. They are typically used for recreational purposes, such as soaring, gliding, and competition. Glider Aircraft are typically constructed from lightweight materials such as aluminum, fiberglass, and wood. They are designed to be aerodynamically efficient and to have a low stall speed. Glider Aircraft are typically operated by a single pilot, and they are typically launched by being towed by another aircraft or by being launched from a winch or aero-tow. Glider Aircraft are typically flown in open airspace, and they are typically flown in areas with good thermals and updrafts. Some companies in the Glider Aircraft market include Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co, Schempp-Hirth Flugzeugbau GmbH, Grob Aircraft AG, and Aerosport GmbH. Show Less Read more
