Gliders are heavier-than-air aircraft primarily intended for unpowered flight.
Terminology
A "glider" is an unpowered aircraft. However, the term is also used to refer to motorgliders, which are aircraft that switch off their engines in flight. The design of gliders enables them to climb using rising air instead of merely descending. This has created the sport of gliding, or soaring. The term "sailplane" is also used, implying a high soaring performance. Minimalist variations of the sport also occur in hang gliding and paragliding.
The term "pure glider" (or equivalently, but less commonly "pure sailplane") may be used to distinguish an unpowered glider from a motorglider, without implying any differential in gliding or soaring performance.

@KI4MYN @sugars3 I am curious as to what veterinary science you base your diet and care of your gliders on.
