Facts: Yes, gliding /is/ flying, exept when one glide, one doesn't keep or gain hieght over the ground, without the air mass moving upwards in some manner. Even birds glide, and gliders use the same technique as them, to gain height. Pure gliders use gravity to overcome the drag produced by lift. Albatrosses can glide for almost the whole flight, when hunting, by using the updraft in the air, created by bigger waves in the water. By this they conserve own energy by not needing to gain height by own power.
