GLIDERSSS


our second glidder.
oue broken glidder
the side part of our glidder.
) THE CHALLANGE is to make our glider fly amd at the beggining we thought it could be easy but it wasnt at the beggining we made one gliders but it broke so we were left without any materials so we ended up with a biggier challange of using limited resources to make another glider that could work.
2) Brainstorm solutions: making a light glider that doesnt weight to much.
-What are the rules of brainstorming? well their are not really rules the rules could be to have a actual glider for when we try than and to try your best not just make a glider that we didnt really like.
-List your ideas:1)one of my ideas was to make a glider that was small with long winds
2)my second idea was to make a long glider with the winds a bit bend because like that it will get enough air inside the winds for it to fly and hopefully it will be able to stay in the air long.
3)my thrid idea was to make a glider with a tail and with a head and with a long center part.and it could be made of normal printer paper but we could still use the wood that we were given.we could use the paper that they gave us.
4)but we end it up making another brain storm after our first glider broke.
  • a glider shape like a cross and insted of wood we could use paper roll up into pieces of wood
  • a glider shape like a circle and we could use pencils like woo
-Sketch at least two of them
3) Specify:
-Criteria
-Constraints (be specific about materials available)
  • one of the constraints was to make it fly
  • another is that we didnt have enough materials we were only given paper and tinny pieces of wood that were really easy to brake specially while trying to work with than and that was one of the hardest thing that we face because pieces could just end up breaking.
  • the biggest constrain that we had was that our first glider broke and we were left without any materials and we had to make something work in just one day. but at the end of the day paper sticks made our glider work and fly atlist for a bit.
  • one constraint that we had was that it was hard to  come up with ideas speacially if we didnt seen to agree in my team.
  • another constrain was that the glue didnt want to glue.
  • we should had broke our fisrt glidder it was hard to make a second one
  • the chart was helpful because it help us decide what to improve in our glidder specially when at the beginning it only seem to go backward
4) Develop Solutions:
the chart
the desighs that we use.
this is the cab of our first plane
this is our second glidder the inside looks like a cross and i made it color green because it was succesful
-Sketch (with labels)
-Model in CAD

  1. This is a strong post. You've addressed many of the questions (although you could try spacing out your answers a little bit to help them read better) and used some images related to your project.

    It looks like you developed some good feedback with your 4 Quadrant Feedback chart. The results are not readable when you expand the image! Can you improve the quality of your image or list the feedback beneath the image?

    What would you change to your design if you needed to fly again?

    What designs worked well in the class?
