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

Step 1:

First, I made the wings that would be the part of the glider that helped it fly the most and give it lift.

Step 2:

Next, I added the base of the glider that would add a centered weight and keep it flying in a straight direction.

Step 3:

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.
