- Challenge & Brainstorm
We chose to go with a "hang-glider" design, and chose to use all of the materials we were given.
Also, two other constraints would be the weather conditions (windy) and also that the glider must be hand-thrown.
Final Design
Testing
When we tested our glider, it was pretty windy. And since our glider is pretty large, it sort of got wrecked by the wind. To repair our broken glider we put tape along all the wood, which actually worked in keeping it together.
Competition Day
On competition day our glider performed just average. In the distance test we placed in 3rd. We did win in the hangtime competition however, which was what we really wanted to do.- Improvements
- - make it smaller, more durable
- -don't test if it is windy.
