Glider

A glider is a type of aircraft that flies without an engine. It uses the wind to stay up in the air, making it a peaceful way to fly.

Appearance

The Glider is a sleek aircraft, typically white with a highly polished surface. It has exceptionally long, narrow wings and a bubble-like canopy for optimal pilot visibility, giving it a remarkably graceful and bird-like appearance in the sky.
