The document summarizes an aeromodelling workshop hosted by Mavericks Aero club. The agenda includes an introduction to the science of flight covering concepts like airfoils and forces on planes, instructions on building basic gliders out of balsa wood including choosing designs, and details of two competitions for longest and farthest flying gliders with cash prizes. Students will get to build their own glider based on different designs and materials provided.

1. Aeromodelling Workshop By Mavericks Aero club

2. Today’s Agenda 1 …….. Science of Flight …….. 2 Building Your Own Glider 3 …….. Competition and Prices!!

3. 1.Science of Flight

4. Le Flight!! Wright Brothers were the first ones credited for making manned sustained flight. This was way back in 1903!

5. So what keeps a plane in the air? I mean I know it moves really fast but still…. Well this guy does it… Ssup Bro! Its called an airfoil

6. The forces on a plane

9. 2.Building Your Glider

10. The material we are going to use will be balsa wood Now a few pointers about balsa……

11. Here we will put designs of different types of planes and the students will themselves choose which design they want to work on and we will give them a rough balsa wood outline which will be common for everyone and they will have to sand out the design they have chosen. Also before they choose their designs we will tell them what are the pros and cons of each design.

13. Raise your hand if you have a doubt or get stuck

14. 3. Competition and prices

15. Competition 1: Farthest flight wins Price: Rs.750 Competition 2: Longest flight wins Price: Rs. 500

17. And the winners are….

18. Level 2 Gliders

19. Level 3: Radio Controlled Airplanes
