The Cleveland Soaring Society offers folks a chance to pilot or ride in gliders that soar above Northeast Ohio’s landscape of greenery, roads and buildings. The club is marking its 60th anniversary.
ByMIDDLEFIELD, Ohio – In Geauga County, flying enthusiasts – armed with a pair of wings and some serious atmospheric knowledge – glide a few thousand feet in the sky in quiet crafts, doing a windy dance with Mother Nature.
Many of the club’s gliders are fiberglass with Kevlar composite. That’s heavier than aluminum and soars better. The concept of being pulled for a while in the air is bit similar to a motorboat zooming ahead of a water-skier, Kujat said. For landing, spoilers pop out of the wings to break the wind. That helps lower the glider faster by creating drag.

Meanwhile, glider records are being set. Kujat said 100,000 feet – more than twice as high as airlines fly – is a barometer. The Perlan, a specialized glider, has topped 76,000 feet and is aiming for an altitude of 90,000 over the Andes Mountains. With warm, moist ocean air blowing up the mountain, the thermals are to gliders what that big wave off an Hawaiian island is to cult surfers.
