Sailplanes, or gliders, are special aircraft which have no engines. An introductory flight generally lasts 20 minutes while an instructional flight, where pilot and student are working to gain altitude by riding rising thermal currents, may last for as long as two hours. Freedom's Wings International operates their fleet of sailplanes out of Van Sant Airport in Erwinna, Bucks County Pennsylvania.
