Project Air was created to combine sweet visuals with wild projects. My passion in life is in making things and inspiring others to discover that they can make cool things too.

FIRST! Hmm project suggestions... add rockets ;)
yea
Nice ideas, and well executed. I will, however, add a few suggestions: 1. At these Reynolds numbers (yes I went there), long skinny wings like those are not the best planform. Stubby wings actually do work better at this size. 2. Add dihedral. A lot of it. This allows you to go from tossing the model across the yard to being able to trim it to handle as hard of a throw as you can give it so that it'll pop into a glide 50 feet up and fly better than you could ever have imagined. Which leads us to 3. use CA glue instead of hot glue so the wings stay on when you throw it hard enough to make it pop into that glide 50' up.
wut ya mean by dihedral? plz explain and scnd isnt hot glue ze best?
@@muhammadhassanpirzada8445 it's the angle of the wings like how he used the skewers to make the big wings be angled the term for it is dihedral
@@muhammadhassanpirzada8445 Dihedral is the angle at which the wings leave the fuselage. If the dihedral is 180°, that means the angle between the fuselage and the wings is 90°. If the dihedral is 155°, that means the angle between the fuselage and the wings is 77,5°.
Leave me a suggestion for future projects! 🙌
lol was so busy typing one out didn't see this, oops! the little styrofoam egg carton top glider was something I just "oh hey why not?" and did out of boredom one day, it flew so nice made 3 more to hand off to friends children. didn't spend 10 minutes each making adjusting and gluing. sand away the egg carton printing, light fog couple coats of spray paint for color, they can look good too.

Nice! I see I'm not the only one using spare parts to create some plane to get some extra fun. Add a slingshot for power take off and enjoy for hours 😁👍🏻 thanks for sharing!
I’m jealous of your English accent.
Damn James that flies pretty good 😀
THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very cool!
I like your plane,modern and very elegant.
Nice! My 8 year old son might prefer building and flying one of these over launching my 3D printed gliders.
That's cool to hear!
did kinda similar couple years ago but used the top of a styrofoam egg carton as the main wing. skewer goes low through the center dimple for a high wing, cover top "hole" of center dimple with tape (can introduce dihedral as doing). pinch leading/trailing edges top down flat thin, V tail is cut from a corner of the egg carton lid. add nose weight, do some glide downs, once really good, couple spots of type 2 wood glue to lock things in place. looks REALLY similar and definitely "something great out of practically nothing" making good use of stuff that'd usually be tossed out in the garbage. you should have a go at it, maybe a "how to" video (because I never will lmao!). not bragging, indoors the glide ratio is easily 15-16:1, clear across the livingroom dropping about 1 ft. skewer tip is about 5" ahead of the wing, the longer lever needing less nose weight.
I used to do the same project for my grade five students with foam meat trays. Basically the same process but with a rudder and we used plasticene as the weight, easy to move around. The butchers always thought I was mad when I came begging for the trays!
Love it! And I loved the video itself.
Great video!
That's an amazing video. Well done.
This time I will use Wood Prix instructions to make it.
Add servos and a tiny motor to this!!
Superb
What would it take to make it discus launchable?
loved it!
Wow 😍😍😍 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Would thin cardboard work for the wings?
No sanding on the flying surfaces?.
How to make sweker glider from foam
I made a dual fuselage 70 cm wingspan version with an electric motor and direct connection to a battery it flies untill the battery dies wich is 2 cells so about 1 minute
make a super simple one
any downloadble plan?
Good good
You heading to the NATS?
more gides???
Auto gyro? Rocket powered auto gyro?
I like both of those ideas ;)
ooh.... bloom flower fireworks powered color changing flames!
(not auto gyro, rocket powered blades)
Cool. Now i know what I can make with My GF newphe =)
Sir iwant to know what exacly measure sir pls 😁
Our foot is Graeco-Roman in origin and derived originally from Egypt, where practical measures were anthropomorphic, with units of the digit - or finger width - of about 3/4 inch. The practical cubit or forearm length was 18 inches divided into two feet of twelve digits, which became the Pythic foot of Greece.
Originally both the Greeks and the Romans subdivided the foot into 16 digits, but in later years, the Romans also subdivided the foot into 12 unciae (from which both the English words "inch" and "ounce" are derived).
Hi brother, I am Mazen from Iraq. Can you send me the measurements of this plane or a map?
