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.
The challenges would be moving the sliders back and forth to make the plane fly.
Explain how the constraints impacted your glider design compared to the first design.
It made it harder to make the glider fly, because of the wood so it was more realistic.
How would you improve your glider if you had to design it again.
I would fix my wing so it wouldn't go to the side.
