    The document summarizes the design of a glider, including its fuselage, wings, and tail. The fuselage uses flute board material to absorb shocks while keeping weight low. The wings have a rectangular outline and are smoothed over with epoxy resin to improve glide performance. The tail unit is strengthened by leveling the imaginary line between its lateral surfaces. Dimensions of the main components are provided.

    * INTRODUCTION

    We looked at the origins of glider design and AFTER STUDYING THE


    CONVENTIONAL GLIDERS
    WE OBSERVED that they were balsa gliders consisting of box- like fuselages and
    T- shaped wings .The prime focus of our attempt was the stability of the glider.

    AERODYNAMICS
    EFFICIENCY OF THE DESIGN
    T SHAPE
    FOR LESS TURBULENCE

    FUSELAGE
    A CONSIDERABLE PART OF WEIGHT IS USED IN THE FUSELAGE AND
    LOWER PARTS OF THE GLIDER BECAUSE THIS PART MUST ABSORB MORE
    SHOCKS. .IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THIS WE HAVE SELECTED FLUTE BOARD
    MATERIAL AND PLACED THE BATTERY IN THE LOWER PART NEXT TO CG.
    OWING TO THE LESS WEIGHT OF THE GLIDER THE FUSELAGE PART ACTS
    AS THE STABILIZING FORCE

    NON-SWEPTBACK
    NON-TAPERED WINGS AS IN EARLY TYPE
    RECTANGULAR OUTLINE
    THE MAIN WING IS SMOOTHENED AND HARDENED THE SURFACE WITH A COAT OF EPOXY
    RESIN (FEVITICE) AND METHANOL SO THAT THE GLIDE COULD BE CONSIDERABLY
    IMPROVED AND HIGHER ALTITUDE CAN BE ATTAINED. INORDER TO OVERCOME THE
    DISTURBING FORCES, THAT IS DRAG, THE MAIN WING DIMENSIONS ARE KEPT AS
    LONG AS 80 CM. TO ATTAIN HIGHER ALTITUDE TRADITIONALLY GLIDERS HAVE
    FOCUSSED ON BRINGING THE CG BACKWARDS.

    NO AIRFOIL SQUARE SECTION THROUGHOUT


    RUDDER PLACEMENT
    IN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN THE TAIL- UNIT, IT HAS BEEN PROVED THAT
    LEVELLING OFF THE IMAGINARY LINE CONNECTING THE CENTRES OF
    THE LATERAL AREA IS EFFICIENT.

    CONCLUSION

    WE ARE STILL RESEARCHING ON THE USE OF OTHER


    CHARACTERISTICS IN THE DESIGN OF GLIDER SO THAT WE CAN MAKE A
    “NEAR-PERFECT DESIGN”.
    MAIN: 65cm
    FUSELAGE LENGTH
    WING LOCATION 30 cm

    STABILIZER LOCATION 57 cm

    VERTICAL TAIL LOCATION 57 cm
