Balsa Wooden Glider Project
In this project, you will learn about the process by which projects are proposed, authorized, and proceed. You will design an original glider using the Aery program that sustains flight for the longest possible distance. This design challenge has requirements including time to complete an original design. Use the skills, knowledge, and understanding you have about how flight is possible. See how far you can design your glider to go.

Conclusion
To have improved my glider, i would have to change my nose mass and added more weight to my right wing due to the gliders change in yaw during flight.
