Glider Design
"Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things"
We do not expect you to elevate your souls, all that we want is to
soar your glider up (up through the clouds, Ha!).
Glide through the clouds; bring in the sensation of flying in yourself through your glider.
Can you get it right one more time here?
Event Description :
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. This event is all
about flying your glider high.
All you have to know is the simple basics of making fuselage, nose, throat and wings of the glider
and to bind them efficiently.
Just before you hit down, jump as high as you can.
Event Format :
This event is to test your design so as to make it cover distances and test the time of flight as well.
Glider covering the longest distance
qualifies to the final round and the one with the highest time of
flight in the second round wins.
Stability of the Glider is essential.
Glider Specifications :
- The glider should be made of wood or plastic.
- The length and the wing span of the glider should be within 30 cm or one foot.
- Ready-made kits if used will lead to disqualification.
- The glider should not have any other source of energy to propel itself
(that is IC engine, motor etc are strictly prohibited).
Rules :
- A Maximum of two members constitutes a team.
- The launch pad will be provided.
- Participants should find the wind direction themselves and no aid will be provided for that.
- Stability of the glider is also evaluated and those which break during launching will be disqualified.
- Organizers decision is final.
