Flying 500 km without an engine on a glider
A glider is an amazing aircraft that can fly many hundreds of kilometers without an engine and rise up due to ascending air currents. Unlike airplanes, it is not used to transport anything, but just for fun. Sitting in the cockpit, you can admire the beauties of the earth from a bird's eye view through a completely transparent lantern, and this is not all that amateur pilots value gliders for and spend good money on their purchase.


One of the most popular gliders, including in Russia, is the Lak12 model. Its cost is in the region of 1-1,5 million rubles, it can accelerate up to 250 km / h and rise above 5000 meters. It is not necessary to become a full-fledged pilot to fly such vehicles, but training will still be required. To do this, you can contact any flying club in Russia.

The author of the YouTube channel "Vitaly Galaychuk" published a video in which he flew 500 km over the Krasnodar Territory and the Rostov Region of Russia. The route took him more than 6 hours, which succinctly fit into a 19-minute video.
