Hi all,
There's a tech fest coming up and one of the events is aero modelling. Here, we've to build a glider out of aluminium or balsa. There'll be a catapult which will be used to launch the glider into air. From then on the glider should glide and cross a specific distance. These are the criteria based on which scoring is made...
The winners will be decided based on the following criteria:
- Time of flight - The glider which is in the air for a longer time gets THROUGH!!!
- Stability of the glider - The glider has to glide and not merely be projected by the catapult.
- Glider design - The participants should explain to the judges, the theoretical feasibility of their design.
There is no engine or motor powering the glider. The only force is that of the catapult. Suggest the optimum design of the glider which stays in the air for a long time. Also should we use some cloth like things to make it like a parachute, so that it stays in the air for a long time. Pls help... Better if some diagrams of the model is present...
Thanx...
