"How can I soar with eagles if I am surrounded by Turkeys". Soaring is the art of not coming down whilst still coming down. A bit enigmatic, but simple. Gliders fly because they are descending, ALL THE TIME. If they stop descending then they descend very rapidly, i.e. Stall. What the Americans call Soaring is still only gliding, they just do it in rising air more often than us Brits.
In my opinion I see no harm in a central Glider or un-powered flying MACHINE (not animal) article with links to:- Hang gliders, Paragliders, Gliders/Sailplanes (there is a difference), and possibly a separate entry for transport and military gliders like the BV40 glider interceptor!!!

Gliding (flight) →
Gliding flight — The parentheses are not needed to distinguish this from other articles on the
Gliding (disambiguation) page but there is already an article with this name that redirects here, so a simple move is not possible.

What do people think about splitting this article into two, i.e. Gliding flight (humans) and Gliding flight (animals)?__ DrChrissy ( talk) 13:43, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Gliding flight. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Gliding flight → Gliding – More general topic, makes it easier to find sub-topics such as the sport, animal gliding, forced gliding etc, and generates less WP:SUrprise and confusion for those not looking for the sport Siuenti ( 씨유엔티) 13:08, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
Although this curve illustrates that total drag is the sum of induced drag and form drag, it misrepresents that the minimum total or combined drag occurs at the point of interception of induced drag and form drag. Although it is possible for this case to occur, it is an isolated case. The minimum of the sum of two functions or curves occurs where the slope of the sum is zero which occurs when the slopes of the two curves are equal and opposite, not where they intersect. Although the example induced drag curve and the example form drag curve are depicted to have equal slopes at their intersection, this is not normally the case. And, because of this symmetrical depiction, it is possible to mislead the viewer into thinking that you can find the minimum by locating the intersection, which is incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30A:2E73:8930:47C:6751:2E03:A0BD ( talk) 19:55, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

A suggested addition to the glide ratio template:
—Source: Jackson, Stephen M. (2000). "Glide angle in the genus Petaurus and a review of gliding in mammals". Mammal Review. 30 (1): 9–30. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-2907.2000.00056.x. ISSN 1365-2907.
Specifically, this section. Could anyone please tell me some good links for citations? I'm not sure which one to use on the Draco page, or how much info I should include.-- Thylacine24 ( talk) 20:17, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
