Explanation:
Jak sądzę, chodzi o wyczyn sportowy. Oczywiście przydałby się kontekst...

"Gliders have also been used for purposes other than recreation, for example for military purposes and for research."
Jak rozumiem, nie chodzi o wyczyn naukowy ani militarny. Pozostaje wyczyn "rekracyjny" - czyli sportowy.

Polecam panu P. zapoznać się z następującym hasłem: http://sjp.pwn.pl/lista.php?co=wyczynowy
Dodatkowo je przytoczę, oszczędzając klikania:
wyczynowy
1. «o sporcie: uprawiany intensywnie, z nastawieniem na osiągnięcie rekordowych wyników; też o zawodniku: uprawiający sport w taki sposób»
2. «o sprzęcie: służący do uprawiania takiego sportu»
- Słownik języka polskiego PWN.

Szybowiec wyczynowy służy do uprawiania sportu szybowcowego, intensywnie, z nastawieniem na osiągnięcie rekordowych wyników.

Example sentence(s):
  • Sports gliders benefit from creating the least drag for any given amount of lift, and this is best achieved with long, thin wings and a fully faired narrow cockpit.

disagree  Polangmar: To szybowce sportowe: http://je.pl/zfrd . || No właśnie - skoro nie wiesz, o jaki wyczyn chodzi, to dlaczego dałeś "disagree" do mojej odpowiedzi?
1 hr
  -> Typowa zemsta. Moim zdaniem chodzi o wyczyn sportowy. Podobnie twierdzi słownik języka polskiego. Gugl to nie wyrocznia.
agree  Michal Berski: no pewnie - wyczyny szybowcowe to głównie uzyskiwanie maksymalnych przelotów i przewyższenia
