Animation and real Flight Example
This video should show how thermals are like, how they are build, and how a gliders pilot uses them to gain altitude. It shows a virtualisation with animation and a real flight with flight path. How do gliders gain altitude ? This video is not intended to impress glider-cracks, because there is so much more to tell. Its a simplified view to the topic, but its vivid and fun to watch for ongoing students or just people who wants to know how this gliding-things works.
