Non-powered aircraft, also known as gliders, are aircraft that rely on the natural lift generated by the atmosphere to stay airborne. They are typically used for recreational purposes, such as soaring, gliding, and hang gliding. Gliders are typically constructed from lightweight materials such as wood, fiberglass, and aluminum. They are designed to be aerodynamically efficient, allowing them to remain airborne for extended periods of time. Gliders are typically launched by being towed by another aircraft, or by being launched from a winch or a bungee cord. Gliders are typically used for recreational purposes, such as soaring, gliding, and hang gliding. They are also used for scientific research, such as studying air currents and thermals. Gliders are also used in competitions, such as the World Gliding Championships. Some companies in the non-powered aircraft market include Schempp-Hirth, Schleicher, Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co, and Moyes Delta Gliders. Other companies include Aeros, ATOS, and Wills Wing.
