Week 2 Update

Having decided on gliders instead of RC planes, the group now has a definite direction. However, a glider model remains to be chosen. We determined that we would be pursuing an exploration of aerodynamics through the comparative study of gliders. In this project, we will be making various modifications to a glider and compare it to a non-modified model through a series of tests. Through these tests, we aim to find the most efficient or aerodynamic model for a given glider model. We will be basing this efficiency on longer flight time and distance, as well as sinking at the slowest possible rate when launched 
from altitude.
