What did you learn from your test flight?We learned that our wings were too big and that the balsa wood frame was not as sturdy as we thought, and not nearly sturdy enough to support the size of the wings.
What are your goals for your glider and how will you adjust your design in order to help it better meet them?
We will try to fix the glider, but I'm not sure that it will work seeing as almost the whole frame is broken in several places. Definitely going to be a hard fix if it's even possible.
Here is an extensive gallery of pictures that were taken during the construction of our project:

We just tested our gliders today (April 8). Turns out, we actually did pretty well, we got first place in hangtime and third place in distance, which of course is much higher than I had ever imagined for our design, given how much it failed when we tested it last time.
Worked with Ryan.
OK, I hadn't seen this post when I looked at your post above! I'm glad to gain more insight on your effort. Think about how you could reference this above so I understand that you have more to share on the project.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that some of your insight is the same as above.
You have some photos from each stage of the effort which is neat. Please organize them (think about an effective order to share them in) and think about how a few captions could really take the reader on the "journey" of your experience.
