GLIDER CHALLENGE

This project required participants to form into groups and, using elements of the design process, build an effective balsa wood glider that would later take part in a competition to see which group's glider could stay in the air the longest and cover the largest distance.

I teamed up with Connor Lewis and Patrick Burke for this project. Together, we built an okay glider. It could have been better. Our glider's distance and time in the air weren't all that hot. And we could have built it alittle bit sturdier. After all, it did split into two during the competition. But we tried our best, and that's what counts.

Above is a picture of our plane after it participated in the competition.

We tried to repair it, bu in the picture it remains broken.
