Glider

The glider soared high into the air.

Leonardo da Vinci invented a human-powered glider.

A hang glider launched off the cliff.

During reentry and landing, the Space Shuttle is a glider.

German engineer Otto Lilienthal studied aerodynamics and worked to design a glider that would fly. He was the first person to design a glider that could fly a person and was able to fly long distances.

He has a glider.

You can make a glider out of balsa wood.

If you're so afraid of heights, then why do you own a hang glider?

The left drawer runner is probably replaced. Nail holes on the upper surface of the stretchers suggest the piece once had a bottom shelf. Modern metal gliders have been added under the feet.

Francine sat in the glider on the porch, swinging lightly, her mind a thousand miles away. The chain squeaked a little, almost like a cricket.

Then I went into the backyard, which had a flower-covered arbor, a small garden wall, and room behind it for a garden. Swings and gliders adorned the yard.

By the way, what happens to a beehive which is under attack by one or two gliders such as pictured:

I believe it is indeed new -- I've gone back through everything I can find, as far back as the early 90's when Heisenburp devices were first invented, and there don't seem to be any reactions based on a glider suppressing a blinker.

In Conway's Life interesting effects can be obtained by colliding gliders.

It is a reversible rule, and an interesting one. Shortly after I implemented it, Chris and I were watching it run from a small random configuration of vants, when we noticed a structure consisting of 2 vants propagating away from the others -- it is a glider of sorts, consisting of 2 cooperating vants moving along, erasing each others' trail.

I wanted to test some totalistic automaton and the glider with the B024S1 rule, which Ilmari Karonen described.

By contrast, consider a rule like Seeds (B2/S) that has "gliders" and oscillators and so forth, so theoretically it might support universal computation somehow.
