Plane pictures

Plane pictures with captions 

This is the plane when we how finished for today 

These are our plane wings before we modified it we made a template so that both sides are symmetric.

This is the body of the plane and the tail

Paintings

This is the fist landscape I did

This is the second landscape painting I did. I did the sunset background first

This is the third landscape it did but this time I did the using a different teknek.

How to make a Glider

How to make a Glider: 

Balance:

To find the balance you would need to find the center of balance and that is where you would put the wings

What meartails can you use to make a toy glider

These could include balsa wood, paper, cardboard, plastic, and Styrofoam.

We will use balsa wood and 

Different types of gliders:

Balsa wood toy gliders are an inexpensive vehicle for kids to have fun while learning
the basics of aerodynamics. A hand glider is made out of a canvas type material. 

How they stay in the air:

This unpowered aircraft uses naturally occurring currents of rising air in the atmosphere to
remain airborne.

How they land 

Landing a glider is much like landing a normal plane, except there is usually a single small wheel
located directly under the pilot. The wings on a gliders are very strong, and the tips are reinforced to
help stop then getting damaged in case they scrape along the ground during a landing.

Getting up in the air: 

Gliders are usually launched on a rope attached to a winch or a powered aircraft 

Wing shape: 

The wings on a glider are long and thin and give gliders plenty of lift, at a very low speed  they are curved
more above than below 

I like this image because you can see how they have sanded the wood to make sure the plane gets lift.

I like this image because it shows what a basic glider looks like.

This is how you make sure you plane is balanced

I think that for our plane we should put a little bit of masking rudder so that it gets lift  tape on the

The main parts of a plane

Rudder:	On an aircraft the rudder is used to help turn the plane. In basic form, a rudder is a flat plane or sheet of material attached with hinges to the craft's stern, tail, or after end.
Drag:	Drag is the aerodynamic force that opposes an aircraft's motion through the air. Aerodynamic means: having a shape which reduces the drag from air moving past.
Lift:	Lift In order for a plane to fly, it must generate lift to oppose its weight. For a plane to get lift I must move through the air.
Wings:	A plane's engines are designed to move it forward at high speed. That makes the air flow rapidly over the wings, which throw the air down towards the ground,  for the plane to generate an upward force called lift that overcomes the plane's weight and holds it in the sky. The wings force the air downward and that pushes the plane upward.
Balance:	When the plane flies horizontally at a slow speed, lift from the wings exactly balances the plane's weight, and the thrust exactly balances the drag. This creates a lift force, greater than the plane's weight, which powers the plane higher into the sky.
