I started my training with the introduction of
tools,materials,adhesives,electronics, various
hardwares etc. that are being used in
aeromodelling.After that I got to know about
the basic flying object of the aeromodelling
that is chuck gliders.I worked on small scale
size static models of existing aircrafts.Also we
go for flying on every Sunday where many
hobbiest come with their birds and I get
the opportunity to interact with them which is
enhancing my communication skill as well.

I am working in HLI as a UAV Designer and
pilot.Students comes here with the concepts of
different type of project and we help them in
making those projects.Recently are working on
fire fighting drone.I am designing that drone’s
frame in Fusion360.
Also I have the opportunity to interact with
students of different colleges as HLI also
conducting drone workshops.I have participated in
two workshops till this date.

WHAT IS GLIDER ?

A light engineless aircraft designed to

glide after being towed aloft or launched
from a catapult.

A glider can be divided into three main parts:
a)fuselage
b)wing
c)tail
•It can be defined as the main body of a glider

• Comparing it with a conventional aircraft, the

fuselage is the main structure that houses the flight
crew, passengers, and cargo. Howsoever, in this case
it is only a 2-D fuselage.

• It is cambered and in the middle portion, we attach

the wing around the position where the camber is
maximum by either making a slot in the fuselage, or
by dividing in two parts and then attaching
If we are breaking the wing in two parts then we have an
advantage that we can give dihedral angle to the wing.

But typically for first time users, it is advisable to cut a slot into
the fuselage and then attach the wing.

Since in this way the wing remains firmly attached and also since
the model is of small size, dihedral is of little
importance.(dihedral :explained in later slides)

The front part of the fuselage is called nose. It is rounded in

shape to avoid drag and to ensure smooth flow.
It is the most essential part of a plane.

 When air flows past it, due to the difference in

curvature of its upper and lower parts lift is
generated, which is responsible for balancing
the weight of the plane, and the body can thus
fly.
Airfoil: Cross sectional shape of a wing

Leading Edge: Front edge of wing

Trailing Edge: Back edge of wing

Chord Line: Line connecting LE to TE

 Camber line: A line joining the leading and trailing edges of an airfoil
equidistant from the upper and lower surfaces . High camber found on
slow flying high lift aircraft.

 Camber: It is the asymmetry between the top and the bottom curves of
an aerofoil in cross-section.
 The point in airfoil where the lift can be supposed to be
concentrated upon is called the centre of
pressure.Generally it is located at c/4, where c is the
chord length.

 The point where the weight of the glider acts is termed as centre
of gravity (CG).

 For weight balance, the centre of gravity must coincide with the
centre of pressure.

 To bring the CG to c/4 we add some weight at the nose in the

form of coins and paper clips.
 A tail or a stabilator is attached at the rear end of the
glider.

 It is composed of two parts a horizontal stabilizer and a

vertical stabilizer to provide stability and control to the
vertical up down movement of the nose.

This up-down movement of the glider is termed pitching.

 Wing loading is defined as the weight of the aircraft divided by the wing
area.

 The glide ratio is the distance travelled in a horizontal direction

compared with the vertical distance dropped on a normal glide.

 A 20 to 1 glide ratio means that the aircraft would lose one foot of
altitude for every twenty feet of distance travelled

 Ballast is extra weight added to a glider to help it penetrate better in

windy weather or to increase its speed.

We generally add paper clips and/or coins on the nose in balsa gliders.
ASPECT RATIO
It is the ratio of the wing span to the wing’s chord length(c).

•Fighterjets don’t have airfoil shape wing but have flat
plate.The reason they could fly is incidence angle and
high thrust to weight ratio.

•Fuselage to wing ratio:Our aircraft can glide better if it

will have greater wing dimension than fuselage.But in
high speed aircrafts or rockets there is barely wing.That
allow flying object to move faster.

•Ouraircraft model should be nose heavy a bit.Because

when motor will run,air will strike over elevator to
compensate for that nose down moment
