La Mascara Glider

By: Alyssa, Halle and Mysl

Trial 1 Graph

Trial 1

Expected glider inequality x ≥ 300

Glide slope=0.33/1

Not successful

The shoebox had no lift

Trial 2 graph

Expected glider inequality x ≥300

Glide slope=0.11666/1

Not successful

The glider hit the ladder while

coming down then did a flip

Trial 2

Trial 3 graph

Expected glider inequality x ≥300

Glider slope=0.12/1

Not successful

The glider had better lift but

needed more surface area

Trial 3

Trial 4 graph

Expected glider inequality x ≥300

Glider slope=0.203/1

Not successful

The glider was to heavy on the tail

wing which caused it to do a flip in

the air

Trial 4

Trial 5 Graph

Expected glider inequality x ≥300

Glider slope=0.423/1

Not successful

Got more distance and had more lift

but still didn't make it to the 3 meter

mark

Trial 5

Trial 6 Graph

Expected glider inequality x ≥300

Glider slope=0.57/1

Not successful

The glider needs more lift

Trial 6

Trial 7 Graph

Expected glider inequality x ≥300

Glider slope=0.6667/1

Not successful

Tried to add more lift but added to much weight on the back tail

Trial 7

Trial 8 Graph

Expected glider inequality x ≥300

Glider slope=0.76/1

Not successful

The glider still needs

more lift

Trial 8

Research

  • Forces that help you glide: Three forces-lift, drag and weight. Lift-raise to a higher position. Drag- to pull something. Weight- a body's relative mass
  • How things glide: The lift is created as air flows over the wing, forward motion is gained through gravity.
  • Definition of a glider: A light engine less aircraft designed to glide.
  • Animals that glide: Flying squirrels-special membrane between their front and back legs that allows them to glide through the air
