Paper Assignment #2
A 7-10-page APA paper must be submitted which includes the
sections below. Use the bullet
points below as an outline for the paper with each main bullet point as
a Level 1 Header. Do not
include the wording in the parentheses.
ntroduction (Introduce your paper. Tell me what I am about to read)
rototype (This is a thorough description of your final prototype. But see
below)
a. Construction (Tell me about the build process)
b. Description (Give me a general description of the glider)
light Test Method (Give me a complete description of how you tested and
modified your glider
to achieve the longest flight.)
esults (Report the results of the flight testing. A table showing glide
distances is a good
addition. Be sure to report average distance, average glide ratio (you may
need to research what
this is), the longest and shortest flights)
iscussion (Discuss the entire project. What did you learn? What worked
and what did not
work?)
escription of Fuselage (Give me a thorough description of the fuselage of
your glider)
escription of Wing (airfoil shape, planform shape, b, c , AR, mounting
location and AOI)
escription of Empennage (Give me a thorough description of the
empennage of your glider)
he last section must include a figure, the Three-View Drawing. This should
include a top, side,
and front view of the glider. Dimensions must be included on the image. All
three views should
be on one page of the paper.
This second assignment is meant to record the construction and flight
testing of your glider
and to describe your final prototype design for the competition. This
paper, like the first, is to be
APA formatted (to include a Title Page). As before, no abstract is
necessary. No reference page
is necessary since you are doing hands-on research for this
assignment.
Your goal during flight testing is to maximize the range of your glider
through systematic
modifications and trial and error. Try and get the glider to glide as far
as possible. This
includes recording measurements of glide distance and calculations of
glide ratio. The results
section should include quantitative data such as number of flights,
average glide distance and
average glide ratio. The discussion section should include your
thoughts on the flight-testing
process: problems encountered, your assessment of the problem,
corrective actions taken, and
projection of your gliders distance when thrown from a height of 19
feet, based upon your
average glide ratio.
Then, you will describe your competition glider in writing and show
images representing
your glider. The Three-View Drawing can be created in a CAD
program (if you have access to
and know how to use one), Microsoft Paint, Microsoft Word (Draw
Tools), or by hand (very
neatly using a straight edge on graph paper). The drawing should take
up no more than one page
of the paper.
