2. Flying and gliding animals - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_and_gliding_animals

   Some gliding animals may use their gliding membranes for drag rather than lift, to safely descend. Gliding flight: falling at an angle less than 45° from the horizontal with lift from adapted aerofoil membranes. This allows slowly falling directed horizontal movement, with streamlining to decrease drag forces for aerofoil efficiency and often ...

They can travel as far as 70 m (230 ft) from one tree to another without losing much altitude, [9] with a Malayan colugo (Galeopterus variegatus) individual having been observed traveling about 150 m (490 ft) in one glide.

   Gliding flight is heavier-than-air flight without the use of thrust; the term volplaning also refers to this mode of flight in animals. [1] It is employed by gliding animals and by aircraft such as gliders. This mode of flight involves flying a significant distance horizontally compared to its descent and therefore can be distinguished from a ...
