| Summary: | This project aims to develop, design and build a launcher for unpowered glider. The launcher is capable in giving a consistent initial conditions and guide the glide path direction for the glider. The features of the glider launcher are to produce a constant launching force and provide a constant launching angle and height in a same platform. The design specifications of the launcher focused on the catapult launcher design with bungee cords as a power actuator and portable to allow quick deployment and minimum set-up time. Justification for each design decisions are considered, and the model drawing is generated by using SolidWork software. The design requirement is dependent on the fabricated gliders from students of Aerodynamic (ESA244) Class and it will be responsible to launch the student’s gliders on the Glider Test Day. The design concepts of the previous glider launcher are analysed and finalised to propose and build a convenient glider launcher model. |
