Glider Challenge: Test Your Prototype!


Our plane was the green one in the middle

What did you learn from your test flight (post your 4 Quadrant Feedback notes for each iteration of your testing)?

- We learned that our plane was too light and didn't travel anywhere.

What are your goals for your glider and how did you adjust your design in order to help it better meet them?

- Our goal was to make it travel the farthest, while also making it stay in the air the longest.
- The second time we tested our glider, we added a few more weight.
- This didn't help us, and our glider went straight down.

4) Your Glider Challenge competition day results. How did your glider perform? What would you change if we competed again?

- Ours performed pretty poorly, and it went straight down right when we threw our plane.
- If we could change something, it would probably be to make it a little heavier and to make our wings more sturdy.

  1. Your feedback is strong because you're specific about the results and what you did to improve them. Use the 4 quadrant feedback chart to better capture that.

  2. You've done pretty well with the posts you've included. Did you do anything for either of the Reverse Engineering assignments? Taking 0s on those is tough on a person's grade.
