Description

Excerpt from Popular Science, Vol. 128: January, 1936 Crack pilots now practice four kinds of soaring. The first and most common is slope soaring. It makes use of the wind, deflected upward by a ridge or hill into a strong lifting current. The second is thermal soaring. Making use of the heat cur rents rising from barren spots on the ground. Pilots have flown for hours over the edge of the Sahara Desert, held aloft by such currents. The third is the exciting sport of cloud hopping. The soaring ship circles in the column of rising air beneath a cumulus cloud. By hitching to clouds in this way. Some of the longest cross-country flights have been achieved.
