Dynamic soaring is a flying technique used to gain energy by repeatedly crossing the boundary between air masses of different velocity.Such zones of wind gradient are generally found close to obstacles and close to the surface, so the technique is mainly of use to birds and operators of radio-controlled gliders, but glider pilots are sometimes able to soar dynamically in meteorological wind ...
