Shouldn't this part "called gliders" either be enclosed in commas on both sides or have no commas at all? I think there is also a style guide that recommends to put no comma before "but" if what follows isn't a complete sentence that could stand alone. What do you think about this? ☺

(Of course, we would always put a comma before "aber" in German, no matter what. ☺)

I changed it a little. Thank you for your suggestion.
