                    Powered Flight                                                        Glider  

                                                                                                           

1.Powered flight has engine to maintain the                 1. It has no engine to maintain but it has

  flight or balance an aircraft & aerodynamic forces.       initial airspeed to control flight.            


 2.It is used for the commercial purposes or business   2. Glider is used for adventure,sky
       purposes.                                                                  diving or experimental purposes.

 3. Biggest valuable transport industry in the world.      3. Individual developing industry.

 4. Powered flight is so expensive than glider.               4. Glider is so cheapest than other.

 5. Easy to handle & maintenance.                              5. Not easy to handle, it's fly path
                                                                                   consider towards the initial airspeed.
