Design of a pneumatic launcher and glider
This project aims to design a reusable glider and its pneumatic launcher. The glider is to be activated by compressed air energy, thru the launcher. The size of this glider is about 150mm for the wing span and 200mm for the fuselage. The whole system of this design was based on the pneumatic power a...
