How to make a glider model. Illustration of making a glider model from cardboard.

Tutorial on making a simple glider model, using cardboard to complete the entire production. The gliding effect is still great. There will be a wind tunnel test at the end of the article (^o^)/~

Drawings of glider models.

Fold the cardboard in half and draw the fuselage according to the drawing.

Cut it out.

Fold it as shown in the drawing and stick it with glue to reinforce it.

Cut out several strips of paper to reinforce and weight the aircraft.

Positions where counterweight is required: above the wing, at the root, above the horizontal tail, at the root of the vertical tail, on both sides of the fuselage.

The picture above is an enhanced demonstration above the wing. Cut 2 slits on the back of the paper strip, fold it down, and glue it to the body.

After the reinforcement is completed, adjust the position of the wings and trim the streamlined shape of the nose.

Start making the counterweight and cut off part of the bottom of the machine head.

Use cardboard to roll out the paper tube and put it on the machine head. While inserting, check whether the center is at the center of the wing.

The following is the wind tunnel test picture of the glider:

Tie the glider to the fan with a rope and turn the fan on.
