Pronunciation: [pˈa͡ʊəɹɐsˈɪstɪd sˈe͡ɪlple͡ɪn] (IPA) 
A power-assisted sailplane, also known as a self-launching glider or motor glider, is an aircraft that can utilize both traditional gliding techniques and a powered engine to ascend to higher altitudes. There are several synonyms for this type of aircraft, including hybrid glider, soar and motor, engine glider, and glider with motorized assistance. Regardless of the terminology, the unique capabilities of a power-assisted sailplane make it a versatile option for pilots who want to explore the skies without the need for a full-fledged airplane. With the use of a motor, a power-assisted sailplane can climb higher and faster than traditional gliders, allowing pilots to access more remote locations and engage in longer flights.
