Manoeuvrable Autonmous Glider
Manoeuvrable Autonmous Glider
(OP)
I am doing project where I need to design and construct a simple glider capable of high-speed manoeuvres by moving its wings or changing its shape. I would like some help or ideas on the design and how to go about making the wings mobile. I am interested in the uncontrolled manoeuvre so no electronic controls systems will be required. Thank you.

Neither are good for a glider.
If the glider turns out to be any good, you also need a thermal fuse (literally a piece of burning string or other primitive timer that releases the entire elevator into a high AOA position after some minutes, or you will be chasing the glider into the next county.

There you go, do I get extra credit from your prof?
