-  Many plane gliders are towed behind regualr airplanes, but engineers are starting to create glider planes that have a small motor for lift-off and landing.  Because gliders depend on the air current to be able to soar, they have much longer wing spans than regular planes and they can only carry the weight of a few people at a time.  Here is a video of a glider plane:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm3mliPyeeM
