Challenge: To create a glider plane that stays in the air and glides for a long time.

Criteria:
Constraints:
- Certain amount of blue paper
- Can't be too heavy
Test Phase
From the test flight, I've learned that our plane nose dives too much. It doesn't have much hang time.
My goals for the glider
- Get it to hang in the air for 5 seconds or more
- Be able to soar longer without nosediving
Our glider didn't do so well. It nosedived as we predicted and it didn't have the best hang time. It was hard to change our glider since we already constructed it and took some of it apart.
I would change our design. I would add another set of wings and slant them upward instead of slanting them parallel. That way, there would be more of a change to hang in the air longer and soar.
