    Determining Aspect Ratios for a model glider

    He did some reading and related to me that high-aspect ratio wings produce a comparably high amount of lift at low angles of attack with less induced drag. So he'll need to build the launcher with a low angle of attack... Ok I understand this as it applies to a delta wing but he is planning...

    Determining Aspect Ratios for a model glider

    Hello, First I’m not an engineer! I have a son who is in the eighth grade and is taking soaring lessons. I'm asking these questions because my motive on soaring lessons is to try and introduce practical applications of math (I'm an account and out of my depth here) with the hope that it sparks...
