2. List of airline flights that required gliding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airline_flights...

   Airplane gliding occurs when all the engines of an aircraft shut down, but the wings are still functional and can be used for a controlled descent. This is a very rare condition in multi-engine airliners, [1] though it is the obvious result when a single-engine airplane experiences engine failure.

3. Gliding flight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliding_flight

   Although the human application of gliding flight usually refers to aircraft designed for this purpose, most powered aircraft are capable of gliding without engine power. As with sustained flight, gliding generally requires the application of an airfoil, such as the wings on aircraft or birds, or the gliding membrane of a gliding possum.

   Single-seat high performance fiberglass Glaser-Dirks DG-808 glider Aerobatic glider with tip smoke, pictured on July 2, 2005, in Lappeenranta, Finland. A glider is a fixed-wing aircraft that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its lifting surfaces, and whose free flight does not depend on an engine. [1]

7. Unpowered aircraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unpowered_aircraft

   Launching a glider gives it the initial forward airspeed to start flying. This is often done by towing the aircraft into the air on a long line, using either a ground-based winch or vehicle, or a powered "tug" aircraft. A small foot-launched glider is launched by running downhill or stepping off a high location.
