rapid glider stuff by esther

yes I am talking metrics

I want low stall speed, high AR ≥ 10

• except we also want it to be pretty maneuverable so maybe AR of 8 ? I’m not sure what I can use to check manuverability

glider launch speed is probably 70 ft/s

• but we don’t want it to be 70 ft/s do we, that means it’s going to shoot up
• if we get static margin right it’s going to go up
• else it’s going to make a loop
  • which maybe making a loop isn’t a bad idea
  • which plane is this 180 turn with respect to?

trim glider

yes plane can slow to deploy, lower elevator so it can nose down

CARBON SPARS

carbon rod ??!!!

just do 110% white foam

1 pound/ft^3

pink foam 35 kg/m^3

simple plane no fuselage maybe a chopstick or a plank to stick electronics underneath

although reducing drag is important
