Day 05 - Testing Reconfigurable Prototypes

Remember that to pass all 3 tests, your prototype MUST include at least one of the following elements:

• ailerons
• elevators
• rudder

If your prototype doesn't already have at least one of these, add it today and get a design that can pass all 3 tests by the end of the bell. Tomorrow I will grade you on your progress and you will write up your EDP and turn that in so we can start our next unit on Monday.

Test 1

• straight-line flight from one end of 2150 lengthwise across the room

Test 2

• when thrown straight (at blue X on back wall):
1. glide forward at least 1 meter without deviating more than 0.5 meter left or right
2. after passing the first meter, must achieve a 90° turn left before crossing the 2-meter line

Test 3

• when thrown straight (at blue X on back wall):
1. glide forward at least 1 meter without deviating more than 0.5 meter left or right
2. after passing the first meter, must achieve a 90° turn right before crossing the 2-meter line
