Meaning of Gliding sport

Gliding sport flying sport practiced with glider airplanes. A glider has no propulsion devices and takes advantage of rising air flows to gain altitude. Therefore, they can only be used in adequate air spaces with thermal air movements. Depending on the type of air flow the following are differentiated: gliding in upward air flows alongside mountain slopes and coasts, thermal gliding in vertical air streams above areas that have been heated up by solar radiation, thunderstorm and weather front gliding in the vertical air flows in front of thunderstorms, cold and warm fronts, and wave gliding (leeward wave gliding) in the upward air flow areas (rising zones) of leeward waves, which are standing waves built up leeward of a peak or mountain range (foehn waves). The start of a glider is usually realized with a motor winch (winch start) or in tow behind a motor plane (airplane tow start). (H.Haag &g. Haag, dictionary, 2003, 215p.)
