I worked with Max and David. We worked well together and had no arguments. We originally only partially built the plane and had fun with it and it was flying quiet far. We then completed it and it was not good. We took off some of the pieces and it flew very well. We had to overcome our plane being sabatoged by we dont know whom.
2) Post a photo of your glider under construction.
4) Describe how you tested your aircraft and tuned its flight characteristics
We tested it outside, and although it went threw some gnarly crashing, it still survived.
5) Describe how well your aircraft flew in our competition. Did you win any events (furthest distance, longest time aloft)? Were you competative in our best decorated flier competition?
Our aircraft did well we came in 2nd or 3rd, It was flying very good until the numerous times we crashed it having fun throwing it around. I dont think we won any events. Yes we were competitive but it was only a friendly competition
6) Pick three steps from the PLTW 12 step design process and describe how your team worked through these during the course of this experience.
a.) Step 2. - Brainstorm :: We brainstormed ways to modify the plane so it would look more original, and still be capable of flying a long distance.
b.) Step 9. - Test and Evaluate :: We took our plane outside and took several practice flights. We would remove parts and see how it affected the flight, and took note of changes we needed.
c.) Step 10. - Refine the Design :: After step 9, we put our changes into effect, and it all turned out for the better. Our plane flew quite well, and it was missing many pieces on purpose.
