Glider Challenge

Posted by Zach On Friday, May 6, 2011 0 comments

A Few weeks ago we did a challenge where we had to make gliders out of balsa wood. Unfortunently i have not had the ability to make a post about it with pictures. But i do have a model of out plane produced from our CAD software. But first i will talk about how the project went.

When we first started we wanted to take it very seriously. And at first it was working out well. But then one day when we got to class our plane was broken, So we had to start over and we lost a lot of moral. Thankfully while i was away from the team (for being sick) they came up with a good plane that flew well.



On the day of flight there was little to no wind, which was amazing. And we finally got to see out competators planes. most of them were very well built. And one of them built by Jordans group got the furthest distance. Thier plane probably flew about 100 feet or so. Our plane did decently. It got an average flight distance, and an average flight time.


I would include pictures if i had then. But the most i can give you would be CAD pictures, so here they are.
