Glider Aircraft
Hi, my name is Gavin Schlembach and I am in 11th grade at Grandview preparatory school. For this project we had to use a 3D CAD software to design and make something that flies. As many other people would the first thing I thought of was a plane but planes need thrust to gain speed and lift. Then I thought of something that doesn't require thrust, a glider.
Supplies
Only things I needed for this was:
- A computer
- Access to WIFI
First, I made the wings that would be the part of the glider that helped it fly the most and give it lift.
Next, I added the base of the glider that would add a centered weight and keep it flying in a straight direction.
Finally I added a single tail wing but then changed to two tail wings because it makes the design more unique and for real planes it gives added control at higher speeds.
