The Motor Glider
“A sailplane that doesn't need a tow.”

A motor glider with enough power to launch itself — typically a small piston or electric engine that retracts after the climb. Once at altitude, the engine shuts down and the pilot soars on thermals like any other sailplane. Best of both worlds: the freedom of flight without waiting for a tow plane.
Fun fact
Some self-launching gliders can climb to 8,000 feet on engine power, then fly hundreds of miles without ever restarting it.
One might be overhead right now.
