Why are the Goa'uld fighter aircraft called death gliders? They are clearly capable of powered atmospheric flight, rather than simply controlled falling. I know that Carter said that their propulsion systems took inertia out of the equation so I'm guessing that they don't rely on lift to fly like an airplane would. Still that's not really gliding (or flying for that matter).

Because Death Propulsion-systems-which-take-inertia-out-of-the-equation just doesn't sound as cool.. Also its a bit of a mouthful... -
It's catchy. It's a science fiction show...

We should also try to watch out for the Sink Class cruisers, the even more massive Tub-Class carriers as well as the utterly gigantic 30km long Jacuzzi-Class mobile starbase.

death fighters sounds even more boringComment
-
because there are no obvious engines and so it looks like it glides and well, it can become your death and well, fighter sounds stupidComment
-
It's an ironic name. If the engines cut out in atmosphere, it would fall like a rock. That's why they call it a glider. The Goa'uld love irony.Comment

they're called gliders cause as i said, they "glide" through the sky as they dont have any visible engines.
however, i'm rather puzzled at the "death" part. "dead" would've been better. honestly, has ANYONE EVER been killed by one? they cant aim, they cant kill, they're largely useless. why call them "death" gliders?!Comment

because it is a death sentence for those that have to fly itComment

I believe plenty of hapless villagers have been killed by them, like the ugly guy from the movie.Originally posted by thekillman View PostAll that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing-Edmund Burke
