Abstract

Many of us exprience difficuties of flying glider in open ground ,it is because we are not aware of the way to make a model fly properly ,Most of the time ,the first flight of a model ends with crash ,but still everyone wants to be a successfull in the very first attempt and no one wants to fail even once. So a good Aerodynamic design give better Flight perfomance .Glider is an unpowered flying vehicle. Its wing generates both thrust and lift to make it airworthy. It is an ideal platform to understand the precise low speed aerodynamics, how it is works on other flying vehicles. Student will experience the practical knowledge of the basic flight mechanics principle. Gliders vary in size, shape, configuration, construction material and other prameter effect the perfomance of flight .However, most gliders are more alike than different. The standard configuration is that of a long, relatively narrow wing, a fuselage , stabilizing fins and control surfaces at the tail, the balancing point of the glider near main wing centered and a tow hook located somewhere between the nose and the main wing and lauch/throw with Rubber powered Mechanism or hand lauch. Make an aerodynamic flying object is all about better Design which depends on good fabrication skills and it is time consuming The main objective of making Glider Its help the students to understand aerodynamics, flight control, mechanics and stability in the simplest manner. This will help to stdudents participant to understand the basic principles of flight.

Introduction

In this activity student will quickly find a solution to an aerodynamics challenge fabrication a Glider from the provided materials that will fly as far as possible. It is more productive to continually test of Glider , because if you notice any problems you can fix them easily.

Parts of Glider

In general ,Glider consists of the following standards Parts:

Fuselage :

This is the Main Body of Glider ,which support wing.

Wings :

Wing is a aerofoil scection and primary flying or lifting surface of an Glider. Airfoil define as the cross-sectional profile of an aircraft's wing or tail planes used to create lift.

Horizontal stabilizer :

it is provide logitudinal stability.

Vertical Stabilizer :

This has a symmetric aerofoil shape and is a vertical surface at the tail Portion of the fuselage .this Provides lateral stability.

Design of Parts

Fueslage is very important part of Glider ,so First I design Boday part in Autodesk 123D / Fusion 360 . I taken a General theory of Aircarft aerodyamic from Model Plane design It state that if fuselase shoud be 80% so my wing dimension .My glider wing span is 31cm-32cm .So I taken Fuselage dimension 24cm .

Project Title :

Design and Fabrication of Chuck Glider Cutting Zig/Machine

Introduction :

To understand what makes a glider fly, first have an understanding of aircraft aerodynamics and how flight is possible. An understanding of aerodynamics and how it affects takeoffs, flight maneuvers, and landings allows pilots to be more skillful and aware of the capabilities of the glider.

Inspriation/Problem observe :

My Fab academy project Idea coming from my hand's on experience from Make and Fly Chuck Glider Program , As Maker ever time we having stiuation ,what to teach student within 45 minutes and I found Make and Fly Program. In this program within time Frame student has to assemble the Glider kit or they can Make own kit ,In this process many step involve i.e Drawing,Cutting,sanding,Assembling then flying ,During this program I was diccusing about design and Fabrication challenge to fabricate a idea after student leaning basic physics of prcatical application .I like to solve and Make on STEM kit and Machine which can solve this problem

Solution:

currently in Market Chuck Glider is avialable price between 200 rupess- 400 rupess Apart from this there is another method to make Glider From Balsa wood but not cheaper or not easyly avialble ;Most important part not everyone can make glider within 45 minute with these kit . Last 4-5 years I am working on serval Design to reduce cost and Finally I found Foam Plate Glider is very good Material to replace balsa wood Glider ,Each Glider Material cost 20 rupees but Making one kit require 45 minitues . The main objective of taking this project to reduce time involement of Design and Fabrication Zig/machine which can replace human inovemnt of Making this Glider part .

Feasibility of Project scope:

Making Glider Parts Currently sevral Method is avilable i.e CNC Router ,Hand Foam Cutter which also can reduce the time of Making but steup time in CNC router is More and Foam cutter is not a precision cutting solution . A zig of fixed geometry of Glider part and attched cutting Tool can help me to cut precisely . Proposed soloution of cutting glider parts zig cost come arround 1000 rupess and 30 minute it will Make 30 glider parts . Small Glider Zig /machine reduce the cost of Glider approx 10 rupess .

Major challenges :

1. Power supply

2. Protable Glider Making Machine
