The aerodynamics, stability, controllability and structural strength of gliders are described. Design and structural materials are discussed, and safety and reliability as well. Glider flight at large angles of attack and in spin are covered in detail. A history of gliders and pilot-training on gliders is reported. The author considers that gliding is an independent field of aviation which has an important contribution to make to the field as a whole. Further development of glider construction is examined, to master flights of greater distance, higher altitude, and greater speed. (Author)
