Background Information


The desired outcomes of the project will be the following:

  •  Glider models that will be able to fly with and without modifications
  •  Data from conducted tests
  •  Evidence to show effects of model modification


Creo Parametric will be used to model preliminary designs. Computed aided designs will then provide the basis for physical models. For more information on the software, visit http://www.ptc.com/WCMS/files/128131/en/J1130_Creo_Parametric_DS_EN.pdf.

Physical models will be constructed to test aerodynamic qualities. We will predominantly be working with Depron™ foam: http://www.depronfoam.co.uk/html/what_is_depron.html.
