The response by several companies produced designs for five larger gliders.

The Mü-27 is a large glider.

The SGS 2-12 is a large and heavy glider.

The aircraft was of all-metal construction and was the largest glider that the company had built at that time.

But boldly lined up on three of the five runways were also hundreds of large gliders.

This mainsail can also be detached to become a large glider.

Why this large size evolved is something of a mystery: it may have been that larger gliders cruise at slower speeds without 'stalling'.

This flight was intended to prove the suitability of large gliders to act as an "aerial freight train" for regular transport.

The largest open-class glider, the eta, has a span of 30.9 meters and has a glide ratio over 70:1.
