Touring Motor Gliders (TMG) are powered gliders with an engine / propeller, which cannot be retracted into the fuselage.  The large wingspans of TMGs provide a moderate gliding performance, though worse than that of conventional gliders.  However TMGs are more efficient than conventional light aircraft.
