Most maneuverable glider. Many gliding animals have some ability to turn, but which is the most maneuverable is difficult to assess. Even paradise tree snakes, Chinese gliding frogs, and gliding ants have been observed as having considerable capacity to turn in the air. [30] [31] [32]
The DF-ZF is thought to reach speeds between Mach 5 (3,836 mph (6,173 km/h; 1,715 m/s)) and Mach 10 (7,680 mph (12,360 km/h; 3,430 m/s)). [5] The glider could be used for nuclear weapons delivery but could also be used to perform precision-strike conventional missions (for example, next-generation anti-ship ballistic missiles), which could penetrate "the layered air defenses of a U.S. carrier ...
China. Chinese DF-ZF hypersonic glide vehicle mounted on the DF-17 ballistic missile.. DF-ZF (developed and deployed) / Mach 5–10 [5]; GDF-600 (concept) In addition to a unified payload the Guangdong Aerodynamic Research Academy claims to be exploring fitting the conceptual weapon with various submunitions including what it calls a patrol projectile.

The Seagull is a two-seat powered glider made from aluminium alloy with parts also made of wood, glassfibre and fabric. [1] It has an overwing mounted 116 hp (87 kW) Lycoming O-235-N2A engine. [ 1 ]
Pennycuick [1] divides animal flight into three types: parachuting, gliding and powered. He observes however that these have no sharp boundaries. For example, at one point he sees parachutes as unpowered and as a primitive form of soaring, while soaring itself he sees as being powered by air movement (wind).
Type 055s have sailed in the waters off Alaska in 2021, 2022, and 2024, including as part of joint Chinese-Russian patrols. Recently, a Type 055 visited the island nation of Vanuatu, signaling to ...
Soaring animals and aircraft may alternate glides with periods of soaring in rising air. Five principal types of lift are used: [31] thermals, ridge lift, lee waves, convergences and dynamic soaring. Dynamic soaring is used predominately by birds, and some model aircraft, though it has also been achieved on rare occasions by piloted aircraft. [32]
