The term 'SOARS' is a five-letter word that can be used to describe someone who uses a hang glider. Hang gliding is an extreme sport in which a person uses a lightweight, non-motorized aircraft to glide through the air. The hang glider is typically made of aluminum and fabric and is controlled by the pilot using weight shift. Hang gliding has been around since the early 20th century and is still popular today. SOARING through the air on a hang glider is an exhilarating experience and those who do it are said to be 'SOARING' or 'SOARS'.
