A walkalong glider is a lightweight, slow flying model aircraft designed to be kept aloft by controllable slope soaring in the rising air generated by the pilot who walks along with the glider as it flies, usually holding a paddle. Hands or even the forehead can also be used to create an updraft. This type of soaring differs from other types of slope soaring in that the orographic lift (or "hill") is following the plane as it flies in the air and thus no other wind is required. Types of walkalong gliders have been patented. Some walkalong glider designs have been named. Some known models are

  • Walk along gliding (übersetzt etwa Fliegen durch Nebenherlaufen) wird im Deutschen auch Luftwellengleiten genannt, wobei diese Bezeichnung weniger deutlich macht, dass es sich um eine Modellflugtechnik handelt, bei der der Auftrieb durch das Mitlaufen des Piloten erzeugt wird. Dabei werden sehr leichte Gleitflugzeuge im Flug einer aufwärts gerichteten Strömung ausgesetzt, die der mitlaufende Pilot durch eine schräg gestellte Fläche erzeugt. Spektakuläre Bilder entstehen, wenn der Pilot das Modell ausschließlich über die an seinem Körper entstehende Luftwelle durch den Raum führt. Die Technik entspricht dem im Luftsport genutzten Hangwind beim Segelfliegen. Die Technik ist besonders als Hallenfliegen geeignet. (de)

This type of soaring differs from other types of slope soaring in that the orographic lift (or "hill") is following the plane as it flies in the air and thus no other wind is required. Types of walkalong gliders have been patented. Some walkalong glider designs have been named. Some known models are * Air surfer, * windrider walkalong glider, * tumblewing * Follow foil Walkalong gliding has also been referred to as controllable slope soaring but should not be confused with dynamic soaring. Ground effect should not be confused with ridge lift when explaining how walkalong gliders stay up. Ground effect involves a horizontal surface. Ridge lift requires a sloping surface. In ground effect the air does not have to move relative to the ground whereas ridge lift requires the wind to be blowing horizontally against the ridge. Walkalong gliders are sustained and controlled in the ridge lift produced by the moving paddle. (en)
