It's possible, whereby their vertical velocity component is near zero in the projectile motion as pix below.
This is possible.
Jitshiong, the curvilinear projectile motion in this case has a non-zero numerical value for the vertical component, say 5 m/s..so the glider will launch upward. Is this what you mean and projected from the video? What's the length of it's jump, is it more than 5 or 6 feet?
This is possible.

I dun have any plans yet so far.
So the faster u secure ur appointment with me, the better it is

Yea, seen it in national geographic too...awesome video...
It's for both....
But for long distance...dunno how to explain...
i draw more
wait ar..
[attachmentid=445597]
Flight last longer at the end....
It's called volplaning
Then u can see them flap their membran, and use their tail to navigate

Uber cool guys! Thanks for sharing this.
The part where volplaning comes into play is just too interesting to ignore. In planes this requires a certain amount of control fed back by wind speed, velocity of the projectile motion and many other complex parameters(gravitational pull, density of air, aerodynamics etc.). And gliders seem to have master this 'controlled steady decent' very well, landing spot on. And this is really exciting!
How's the DIY cage going on so far silverwineus?
