1) The Triad
2) a. Our challenge was to build a glider that is able to glide the furthest and stay in the air. We also could use a limited amount of wood and paper. b. The rules of brainstorming are to put all your ideas on paper so you can think of a lots and not forget about some, then you can go back and choose the best idea.
We had a couple ideas, one was having two small wings in the front and back with a raised wing in the middle. ( this was the idea we used ), the other idea was having a 1 big bendy wing from front to back but the wood wasn't flexible enough.
Sketch:
3) Our criteria was to build a glideable glider with soft paper and bendy wood.Some constraints were that we had limited bulsa wood and limited soft paper to build with.
Our goal was to make the glider glide straight without it getting tipped over the front or back. We adjusted the lifting of the wings so it doesn't fly back and we added more weight to make it not tip.

ReplyDeleteGreat name for your design.
ReplyDeleteInclude some dimensions on you sketches to help communicate your vision for their size.
Which of you generated this CAD model? I had given the class time so that everyone could make their own model. Use an assembly of parts to make your model (rather than a single part). This one is a good start though.
Good job giving the 4 Quadrant technique a try.
