Photo Gallery for Presentation Slides preparation

Hi all please create a posting for the photo you like to share for all to use for the presentation and microsoft flightlog and add label "photos" on it. Be sensitive to the photo you upload for microsoft flightlog... we do not want some impt. info to be leak.

Our Lastest Design (Delta Wing)

Our half done delta wing with airfoil grim.It is hard to
stick on the arrow shape carbon rod,as it will move
about when we about to stick it.

This is the side view of the glider.

After that we need to measure the angle of the dihedral

and the length of the dihedral.

After all the measurement I will saw the carbon rod,it hard

and need some time to break the rod apart.

After we fix on the dihedral he weigh the mass of the wing

(It about 50g)

(we do not have enough people to take the photo of

wraping the plane)

This is out final design of our plane ,it weigh about 135g

(without hook)because of the extention rod to ajust

the centre of gravity.We were abit disappointed on this

plane when we flew it,but we found the cause of the

problem.(To be update soon)

^Last Tuesday, our Siling Gliders were making the wings of the glider.
^Although I was a little bit late as my bus met an accident, but it's not too late and I joined the making process

^ At first , Fayuan, Azrul, Xiuqing are making the basic components of the wings while I was sticking newspapers on the table, and Mr Leow was talking to us about the glider.

^ As there did not have glue, so we gathered money and buy glue to stick the wings

^ Soon, it's time for lunch.

^ In the food center , as Fayuan and me sitted in other places to eat Chicken Rice, Mr Leow called us back and talked to us about the importance of TEAMWORK, and we were conscious about teamwork soon and sitted together as a team.

^After the delicious lunch, we went back to the activity room and start our work quickly. Fayuan and me were given the work to make the glider's tale wing, while Xiuqing and Azrul were making the main wing of the glider

^ Also, Mr Leow told us about the Angle of Attack....which should be about 5°, so the plane will rise stably．

^ Despite these, Me Leow also talked about last year's experiences and the meaning & reasons of "stall", "Down wash".....so we need to test our plane and plan it carefully.

^During the making process of the tale wing, our group met a lot of difficulties. But eventually, we finished our tale wing. But at last, it was broken again...

9Nov , tuesday .Journal on Glider Training by Xiu Qing

09-11-10 ^^

Todayy ..

We making a new glider .

First we have to cut all the materials ..

to make the glider .

Use super glue to glue everything together .

Measure the length .

We when for lunch !

Sorry about the pictures was deleted .

Hahha .
So .....

After lunch ....

We talk about the launcher and the kind of planes .

The launcher for

2011 !

The angle of attack/approach angle .

Angle of attack for plane .. around 5 degree or so...

{The wing has an positive angle}

The angle of attck for our glider designed for 2010 (:

{The wing has an negative angle}

Our finished frame structure of the glider's main wing... looks cool .....and its very very light...

We crafted the airfoil for the wing section out of Balsa wood....

wrapping the main wing....

wrapping the tail wing

Hang glider & Rogallo glider

There is not much difference between Hang glider & Rogallo glider from my research , as the shape of the rogallo wing work similar as the hang gilder.The difference is the effectiveness of the airfoil hang glider and the rogallo gilder.The hang gilder have a greater trust and lift , but the rogallo gilder do not give much lift and trust compare to hang gilder.Rogallo gilder is to reduce the impact for landing.
