Gliding is a form of aviation where pilots fly unpowered aircraft, known as gliders, that rely on rising air currents to stay aloft. This serene sport allows enthusiasts to experience the thrill of flight while enjoying breathtaking views from above. Gliders can soar for long distances, often covering hundreds of kilometers, thanks to thermal updrafts and other atmospheric phenomena. Pilots use various techniques to find and utilize these lift sources, making gliding both a skillful and strategic activity. Whether for competition or leisure, gliding offers a unique way to connect with nature and experience the freedom of flight without the noise of an engine.
