Introduction
In this project, I will learn about the process by which projects are proposed, authorized, and proceed. I will design an original glider that sustains flight for the longest possible distance. This design challenge has requirements including time to complete an original design. Use the skills, knowledge, and understanding you have about how flight is possible.
Procedure
Glider Design Requirements
1. Sustain flight over the longest possible distance in a straight line.
2. Utilize standard AERY software format for design development and output.
3. Utilize construction materials specified by your teacher e.g. Balsa wood and adhesives.
4. Have decorations that are creative and attractive.
5. Be durable enough to survive normal launch, flight and landing conditions with little or no harm to its structure.
6. Be able to be launched by catapult of a design specified by your teacher.

conclusion
Explain any challenges if someone else were to construct your design using the AERY print.
Someone may have trouble trying to cut the angles of the wing accurately.
Explain how the constraints impacted your glider design compared to the first design.
The constraints impacted the glider design by how I couldn't make the wing too unproportionately large to the body.
How would you improve your glider if you had to design it again?
I would decrease the size of the vertical stabilizer. I would try to take my time more in the cutting process. I wouldn't change much, though because I satisfied with the results.
