Scout Glider
Description
Gliders are lightweight, exploratory aircraft designed for speed and agility. These vehicles come in both single and double thruster variants, each with their own advantages. Single-seat gliders with a single thruster tend to remain especially nimble due to their reduced weight and simpler construction, often achieving higher speeds and more responsive handling compared to their twin-seat or dual-thruster counterparts. The lighter design and lack of heavy weaponry in these single-thruster gliders contribute to their exceptional speed and maneuverability, making them some of the fastest and most agile options available. In contrast, gliders equipped with double thrusters or additional seats may offer more power or capacity but might sacrifice some speed and responsiveness in the process.
