Solar Endurance Flight

Sailplanes are aerodynamically streamlined and are capable of gaining altitude and remain airborne, while maintaining forward motion. The main advantage of the sailplane solar glider is to generate free energy from the sun. That's the difference between a normal glider and solar sailplane glider. By using this model you can increase the endurance of flight.

Project Description:

Fist of all this project is similar to the normal glider the difficult step here to make a flexible solar panel which you have to fix on top of wingspan area and connect to a rechargeable battery. To make your Solar Endurance Flight the dimensions of your glider should be optimum and aerodynamic.

Measurements for Endurance Flight:

1. Wingspan = y to y+10
2. Wingspan = y to y+10
3. Angle of attack = 3-4 degree
4. Horizontal Stabilizer = 20-25% of wing area
5. Vertical Stabilizer = 40-50% of vertical stabilizer
6. Dihedral angle = 2-3 Degree
7. One rudder( control Surface )
8. Length to Fuselage = 65-75% span
