Yes and no... Pretty much every glider does not have an engine. A tow plane is used to take the glider up, then it detaches and uses thermals which come from the ground to lift its self up. Just like what a bird does. When a bird flies in circles, it has found a thermal and you will notice it is rising up... On the other hand, Germany has invented a glider with an engine that comes out for take off, and as soon as the glider is in the air, the engine goes back in.

Why did early pioneers use gliders instead of powered aircraft?
They used gliders due to the fact that engines are hard to make/power. Also aluminum(useful due to weight to strength ratio) was very rare. Gliders also laid the framework to useful powered aircraft designs.
Does an airplane need gas to fly?
yes Most airplanes other then gliders need fuel to fly some planes run on normal internal combustion engines and others run on jet engines but they all require fuel to operate them.
Are airplanes and gliders the same?
All gliders are airplanes, but not all airplanes are gliders.
