Most gliders are not designed to fly upside down (inverted) and it is not a common or recommended maneuver for gliders. Gliders rely on the lift generated by the wings to stay in the air, and when flown upside down, the wings are not able to generate lift, which can cause the glider to stall and lose altitude quickly.
However some gliders have been modified or designed specifically for aerobatic flying and have the necessary equipment to fly inverted, but these are not typically used for general glider flying.
Inverted flight is a high-risk maneuver that requires specific training, equipment and skill level. Even with the right equipment and training, inverted flight is not recommended for the majority of glider pilots.
It’s important to note that flying a glider in any way that is not recommended by the manufacturer or that exceeds the pilot’s training and abilities is dangerous, and can lead to serious accidents. Pilots should always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and adhere to their own level of training and experience when flying a glider.
