The Glider,[1] also known as the Jet Glider,[2] is a vehicle that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is an aircraft designed to take Shadow to locations that he cannot reach on his own.
The Glider design seems to be similar to the real-life Glider. The Glider is mostly painted red with gray outlines on the surface. The main body resembles a triangle, in which two wings stick out from it on both sides. Both wings end with termos-shaped rockets that give off fire from back. The Glider has two leashes in order to steer it.
