WHAT DOES VOLPLANE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Gliding flight

Gliding flight is heavier-than-air flight without the use of thrust; the term volplaning also refers to this mode of flight. It is employed by gliding animals and by aircraft such as gliders. Although the human application of gliding flight usually refers to aircraft designed for this purpose, most powered aircraft are capable of gliding without engine power. As with sustained flight, gliding generally requires the application of an airfoil, such as the wings on aircraft or birds, or the gliding membrane on gliding possum. However, gliding can be achieved with a flat wing, as with a simple paper plane, or even with card-throwing.

Definition of volplane in the English dictionary

The definition of volplane in the dictionary is to glide towards the ground with no engine power.
