If you're really curious look into dynamic soaring. Using a energy front between any two fields to gain speed greater than either using no energy.
RC gliders reaching nearly 900 km/hour by performing dynamic soaring on wind shear:

It scales all the way up! potentially getting an enormous speed boost at each new front...
Slow and Fast Solar Wind
Planetary Magnetosphere Boundary
The termination Shock
Heliopause
Interstellar Medium (ISM)
Galactic Wind Gradients
It's also worked for slowing down
