Build a glider using 3 or more materials. It needs to involve using the laser engraver on cardboard or wood.

We learned about some basic aerospace engineering concepts. Airfoils were the main focus, we had to learn about them and model them in onShape but were not required to build the glider using that info. We learned to use Adobe Illustrator for the laser to draw vectors and cut using them.

My build was terrible, it wasn’t very functional and fell apart every time I threw it. It did not travel very far and kind of just fell. I did learn that it is harder to make a glider than just making a few light wings and slapping a handle to throw it. I needed in the end to actually spend some time on it and design a good glider.
