soaring

Japanese: soaring

...Flying fish swing their tails powerfully underwater, using the force to launch themselves above the water surface and glide by spreading their long pectoral fins to the left and right. Large birds can also glide without moving their wings, but in many cases they use updrafts to soar up and down.
[Arm brachiation]
Among primates, the apes have a very unusual mode of locomotion.

From [Birds]

...Therefore, if they continue gliding in the absence of wind, their altitude will decrease, but by catching rising air currents, they can continue flying for a long time without losing altitude. Gliding that makes use of the wind is specifically called soaring. Birds that glide are large (at least medium-sized or larger), such as eagles and hawks, seabirds such as albatrosses and shearwaters, pelicans, cranes, and storks.

From [Flight]

…Among birds, hummingbirds are the most common. In contrast, large birds such as eagles and albatrosses excel at soaring. The principle is the same as gliding, but it is characterized by the use of natural wind energy, allowing them to stay in the air for long periods of time without flapping their wings. …

Japanese:

…トビウオは水中で尾を強力に振り，その勢いで水面上に飛びだし，長い胸びれを左右に広げて滑空glidingする。大型の鳥も翼を動かさずに滑空することがあるが，多くの場合，上昇気流を利用して舞い上がったり舞い下りたりする帆翔soaringをしている。

…したがって，無風状態で滑空を続けると高度は低下するが，上昇気流をつかまえることによって，高度を失わずに長時間飛び続けられる。こうした風を利用する滑空はとくに滑翔soaring(帆翔と呼ばれることも多い)と呼ばれる。滑翔をする鳥はワシ･タカ類，アホウドリやミズナギドリなどの海鳥類，ペリカン類，ツル類，コウノトリ類など大型(少なくとも中型以上)の鳥である。…
