A slider includes a slider body having an outer side edge, an inner side edge, an outside rail and an inside rail. The outside rail has an inner edge and an outer edge and is positioned adjacent to the outer side edge of the slider body. The inside rail has an inner edge and an outer edge and is positioned adjacent to the inner side edge of the slider body. The outside rail includes an outer pressurization surface and the inside rail includes an inner pressurization surface. Both pressurization surfaces have an above-ambient fluid pressure when the slider is in flight. The outer pressurization surface extends along the outer edge of the outside rail a length greater than a length that the inner pressurization surface extends along the outer edge of the inside rail.
