AERY Gliders
1.2.10
Conclusion Questions
1. The most difficult aircraft term was the root chord because I had never seen that term used before to describe the wing, and its definition is the length of the wing where it connects to the fuselage.
2. If somebody else were to construct the glider I designed they would most likely struggle with balancing the center of gravity on the glider or cutting the correct angles for the wings and stabilizers.
3. While using the AERY software I faced the issue of extending parts past the constraints as some pieces needed to be larger than the allowed limits, and to resolve the issue I shrank the entire design so that the required pieces could be larger without being too big.

Conclusion Questions
1. The second design challenge was harder to complete because the canard plane's style of flight is different compared to a normal airplane and the deign requires more precise measurements than the previous challenge to achieve stable flight.
2. The constraints for the canard plane were more strict on the sizes of the stabilizer and the vertical tail, and those constraints forced me to alter the shape and area of the components until the plane's center of gravity was balanced and the plane's flight was stable.
