*** Family Acrobatidae: ( feathertail glider and feather-tailed possum )

Like other gliding mammals, the feathertail glider has a skin membrane between the fore and hind legs, thicker than that of the other marsupials like the sugar glider, but smaller in proportion, extending only between the elbows and knees.

The natural habitat of the feathertail glider is the eastern seaboard of Australia, and the glider's distribution is from North-Queensland to Victoria.

The animals born in Poznań are now being sent to main European zoos, making all European captive populations of feathertail glider from Poznan descent.

The feathertail glider was featured on the Australian 1 cent, until it was withdrawn from circulation in 1991.

Animals that can be found on this property include black cockatoos ( red-tailed, yellow-tailed, and glossy ), species of glider including greater gliders, sugar gliders, squirrel gliders, and feathertail glider, acid frogs, echidnas, antechinus, Richmond birdwing butterflies, and platypus.

The feathertail glider's diet includes nectar, pollen and arthropods.

In the Battle of Normandy ( June 6 – August 25, 1944 ), he landed in a glider attached to the 82nd Airborne Division.

* Airlanding troops — landed by aircraft ( usually glider ),

The American glider and parachute infantry of the 82nd ( Operation Detroit ) and 101st Airborne Divisions ( Operation Chicago ), though widely scattered by poor weather and poorly marked landing zones in the American airborne landings in Normandy, secured the western flank of VII Corps with heavy casualties.

In Operation Dingson 35A, on 5 August 1944, 10 Waco CG-4A gliders towed by aircraft of 298 Squadron and 644 Squadron transported Free French SAS men and armed jeeps to Brittany near Vannes ( Locoal-Mendon ), each glider carrying three Free French troopers and a jeep.

They then met John Parker, an investment banker who had run a Chase Aircraft glider subsidiary, Northwest Aeronautical Corporation ( NAC ), in St. Paul, Minnesota.

* Lift ( soaring ), rising air used by soaring birds and glider, hang glider and paraglider pilots for soaring flight

* Edward Simons Fulmer ( East Syracuse, 1913 ), who, as a second lieutenant and pilot of a glider of the U. S. Army Air Force, distinguished himself in Operation Market Garden and was decorated with the coveted Military Order of William, the Dutch equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor, for his bravery.

* Ants Saar ( 1914 – 1995 ), Estonian glider pilot

The Hawker Tornado ( 1940 ), Typhoon ( 1940 ), Tempest ( 1942 ), Fury ( 1944 ), Sea Fury ( 1945 ), and the General Aircraft Hamilcar X tank-carrying glider ( 1945 ) all made their first flights from Langley.

The division was made up of three brigades of infantry ( two parachute, one glider borne ), supporting artillery and anti-tank batteries and substantial Royal Engineer units, as well as supporting elements such as Royal Army Service Corps and Royal Army Medical Corps units.

Except when hill-soaring ( exploiting the lift close to the up-wind side of a hill ), these are generally very unprofitable positions for glider pilots to be in.

* Junkers Ju 322, Mammut ( Mammoth ), transport glider ( prototype ), 1941.

Galland, born in Westerholt ( now Herten ), Westphalia was a glider pilot in his youth, joined the Reichswehr of the Weimar Republic later in 1932.

The military also published a magazine, Flugsport ( Flight Sport ), to encourage an interest in aviation and began a series of glider competitions around the country.

On 5 August 1944, 10 Waco CG-4 gliders towed by aircraft of 298 Squadron and 644 Squadron transported the French SAS men and armed jeeps to Brittany near Vannes ( Locoal-Mendon ), each glider carrying 3 SAS troopers and a jeep.

Holaspis is one of the few arboreal lacertids, and its single species, Holaspis guentheri, is a glider ( although apparently a poor one ), using its broad tail and flattened body as an aerofoil.

Hang gliding is an air sport in which a pilot flies a light and unmotorized foot-launchable aircraft called a hang glider ( also known as Delta plane or Deltaplane ).

Evliya Çelebi also wrote of Lagari's brother, Hezarfen Ahmet Celebi, making a flight by glider a year earlier.

The sugar glider is native to eastern and northern mainland Australia ( as well as being introduced to Tasmania ) and is also native to New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago.

A hang glider ( also known as Delta plane or Deltaplane ) is a glider aircraft in which the pilot is ensconced in a harness suspended from the airframe, and exercises control by shifting body weight in opposition to a control frame.

The Luftwaffe also used the technique in order to help their small bombers, and the enormous Gigant, Messerschmitt Me 321 glider, conceived in 1940 for the invasion of Britain, and used to supply the Russian front which also had air tow assistance from up to three bombers, into the air with loads that would have made the takeoff run too long otherwise.

The park also protects threatened species such as the koala, tiger quoll, sugar glider, yellow-bellied glider, superb lyrebird, boobook owl, sooty owl, powerful owl, tawny frogmouth and parma wallaby.

The demonstrator aircraft is a Dimona motor glider, built by Diamond Aircraft Industries of Austria, which also carried out structural modifications to the aircraft.

He also landed in a glider with the 101st Airborne in Operation Market-Garden and covered the Battle of the Bulge.

Several other designs were also ordered, including the enormous Me 321 Gigant transport glider, and its six-engined follow on, the Me 323.

The airfield was also the main base of the Gdynia-based glider club.

It has also been used by glider pilots on rare occasions.

The FAI glider class is F1A, also known as A / 2 or Nordic glider.

Other glider classes include magnet-steered ( F1E ) gliders-essentially a free flight slope soaring class, and hand-launched glider ( usually abbreviated HLG, and also widely known as simply chuck glider ).

When he eventually attained his B and C certificates, his father promised to buy him his own glider if he also passed his matriculations examinations, which he succeeded in doing.

Weight-shift ( mass-shift ) was also used to control the glider.

The British glider pilots themselves also caused difficulties ; although there were a sufficient number of them to conduct the operation, they were highly inexperienced.
