How heavy is a hangglider?
A hang glider typically weighs between 40 to 70 pounds, depending on its size and materials used in its construction. The weight of the pilot is in addition to this.
Which parts of the hang glider do you think are made from aluminium tubes?
The frame of a hang glider, including the leading edge, keel, and battens, are typically made from aluminium tubes. These tubes provide strength and rigidity while keeping the overall weight of the hang glider down.
What are the consequences of Newton's 3 laws of motion?
Newton's three laws of motion are fundamental principles in physics that describe the relationship between an object and the forces acting upon it. The consequences of these laws include the ability to predict and calculate the motion of objects, explain the behavior of objects in various situations, and derive important concepts such as momentum and energy conservation. These laws are widely used in fields like engineering, mechanics, and physics to understand and analyze the motion of objects in the universe.
How many drop zones also were glider landing areas?
There were 6 drop zones that were also designated as glider landing areas during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. These areas were crucial for deploying troops and equipment behind enemy lines.

What is the difference between a hang glider and a kite?
You can hang off a hang glider but you can only fly a kite.
Difference between homologous structures and analogous?
Homologous structures are any structures that have similarity and come from the same lineage. This can be seen in the forelimbs of mammals. Analogous structures are very similar but come from different ancestors. This can be seen in the North American flying squirrel vs the Australian sugar glider. They both have similar features but come from 2 different locations. In fact, the Australian sugar glider is more related to the kangaroo than the flying squirrel
Who or what appears on the 1995 Australian one cent coin?

What is the difference between a glider and an airplane?

What is the structure that enables the sugar glider move?
The skin membrane that enables the sugar glider to glide between high objects is called the patagium.
How much does a glider weigh?
It depends if it is a model glider or a manned glider.
Which species of possum is able to fly?
No species of possum is able to fly. In fact, no marsupial is able to fly. However, there are many species of Gliders - small marsupials, similar to possums, which can glide between treetops. Varieties include the Sugar Glider, Feathertail Glider, Greater Glider, Squirrel Glider, Pygmy Glider and Yellow bellied Glider. As they launch, their forelimbs and hind limbs splay out, exposing gliding membranes which extend from the equivalent of their wrists to the knees, and allow them to glide between treetops and poles. Most species can glide up to 90 metres, while the squirrel glider has been recorded at 100m. The only mammal capable of actual flight is the bat.
Are sugar gliders the only type of gliders?
No: There are actually six different species of glider found in Australia. They include:Yellow-bellied Glider - Petaurus australisSugar Glider - Petaurus brevicepsSquirrel Glider - Petaurus phalangerGreater Glider - Petaurioides volansFeathertail Glider - Acrobates pygmaeusMahogany Glider - Petaurus gracilis
