Glider

We designed a glider today.
We started here and



Moved here.

Brainstorm Solutions: We had 2 possible solutions. a plane shaped or a hang glider desingn.

We chose a hanglider design because it had the best wing span.

In a vacum our glider would have done better but due to the wind it failed and was destroyed.



We made a smaller version and added a horizontal wing.


When it was fully construted our glider looked like this:



 The our glider slowly did flips down the ground not gaining much distance,
but we did win the hangtime portion!


 
These are our gliders flying combat missions!!!

  1. Did you get a photo of your design? Good job using stock images to help communicate the evolution of your design.

    Can you provide some input based on the questions for the assignment?

    Did you attempt using the 4 Quadrant technique for generating feedback? We're interested in considering the results of our efforts to improve our design.

    I'd like to see you attempt a CAD model that is an assembly of parts (rather than a single complex part).
