Glider Challenge

Glider Challenge

1.       For that last couple of week JP and I have been working on a glider for our class engineering design. We have had many problems and things that we have had to overcome. One of the main things that we had to overcome was the fact that me and him had to constantly leave early on blocks day for soccer so we had to make up for lost time.

4.       The way that we tested our glider was we waited for a day with little to no wind and then we went out and tried it out but our wing broke off of our wing support and we had to fix that before the race.

5.       On the day of the competition our plane did not fly very well because we wound the rubber band to tight and it ripped off and caused damage that could not be repaired and we did not win any challenges.  We also did not have a lot of time when it came down to the decorations.

6.       Define a problem: are problem with this project was the fact that we had to keep leaving early for soccer so we then had to find a solution

Select a approach: me and JP’s idea to solve this problem was when we had time in class we would not get distracted and work for the entire period and try not to get distracted at any times to make good use of all the time that is given to us.

Refine the Design: we also used this step a lot of the time because are plane was in constant disrepair because with the test flight we had to repair the wing with tape because it was broken completely off and it was the day before the competition.
