Blasa Wood Glider

Paper, Order, or Assignment Requirements

An APA paper must be submitted which includes the following sections:
· Prototype
a. Construction
i. Tools
ii. Materials
b. Description · Flight Test Method
· Results
· Discussion
The second assignment is meant to record the construction and flight testing of your glider. This paper, like the first, is to be APA formatted (to include a Title Page). As before, no abstract is necessary. No reference page is necessary since you are doing hands-on research for this assignment.
Your goal during flight testing is to maximize the range of your glider through systematic modifications and trial and error. Try and get the glider to glide as far as possible. This must include measurements of glide distance and calculations of glide ratio. The results section should include quantitative data such as number of flights, average glide distance and average glide ratio. The discussion section should include your thoughts on the flight testing process: problems encountered, your assessment of the problem, corrective actions taken, and projection of your gliders distance when thrown from a height of 19ft. As before
