GlidingGliding is a recreational activity and competitive air sport in which pilots fly unpowered aircraft known as gliders or sailplanes using naturally occurring currents of rising air in the atmosphere to remain airborne.

Initially the objective was to increase the duration of flights but soon pilots attempted cross-country flights away from the place of launch.
