soarers
Things that glide
Soarers are things that soar—birds riding thermal currents, gliders circling without engine power, or figuratively, spirits lifting with joy.
The word appears most often describing birds of prey: Hawks are natural soarers, barely flapping as they scan for prey.
It can also describe anyone or anything rising dramatically: The team's soarers carried them to victory.
