Glider Design
Glider design involves creating an aircraft that can fly smoothly through the air without an engine. It focuses on shaping the wings and body to generate lift efficiently while minimizing resistance. Engineers optimize aspects like wing angle, surface smoothness, and overall balance to ensure stability, good glide distance, and control. Materials are chosen for strength and lightness. The goal is to craft a craft that can remain airborne using only aerodynamic forces, enabling long, controlled flights with minimal power, just like a bird soaring naturally through the sky.
