Glider definition (span^2/weight)
Al Eddie wrote:
Isn't a glider simply defined as an aircraft with no motive power..? Any aircraft can become a 'glider', whereas a sailplane is a glider built specifically for soaring. What a motorglider is, I have no idea... One reason it can be important to know the precise definition of a motorglider(and Wayne has provided the correct definition), is for pilot licensing. One can legally pilot a "motorglider" with just a glider certificate with a self-launch endorsement. -- Doug via Treo handheld -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
