Simple Glider Design Templates 简易滑翔机设计模板
Based on the students initial observation reports, each group will need to discuss the possible design solutions that each person has proposed and assessed. Once everyone in the group has agreed upon a particular design strategy, construction of the plane can commence.
根据之前的初步观察报告,每组需要讨论每个人提出和评估的设计方案。当所有小组成员都一致同意某个设计,那么接下来就可以开始制作飞机了。
Students should start with building the tail of the plane first as this is the easiest part of the plane that does not provide any customization options. The nose of the plane is the next section of the plane that should be constructed. The nose section has two options: a rectilinear option that is slightly easier to build, and rounded option that is harder to construct. Both designs fly equally as well so students can choose the design that meets their skill level.
学生应首先制作飞机尾部,因为这是最简单的部分,没有任何自定义选项。然后是飞机机头。“机头”部分有两个选项:一个是更容易制作的直头,另一个是更难一点的圆头。两种设计飞行都很好,所以学生可以根据自己能力进行设计。
Once the tail and the nose of the plane have been completed students should complete the detail drawing activity before moving on to building the fuselage and the wing.
当机尾和机头完成后,不要着急制作机身和机翼,应该先完成详细绘制图。
The fuselage is much more complicated and will require a number of steps to complete so it is important that students follow their teacher’s instruction. At this stage students will be able to start customizing their plane. When designing the fuselage each group can decide if they want to make the plane a bit shorter or longer than the standard design. The length of the fuselage will have a negligible impact on the planes performance but will affect how easy or difficult it is to fine tune the balance of the plane once the wing has been made.
机身要复杂得多,需要许多步骤才能完成,因此学生要按照老师的步骤一步一步来。学生可以对机身有一些自己特殊的定制,可以决定是否要使机身比标准设计短一点或长一点。机身长度对飞机性能的影响可以忽略不计,但当机翼完成后对调节飞机平衡是有影响的。
Finally, the wing is the last and most difficult part of the plane to make. There are lots of options to choose from when designing the wing. Will the group make a rectangular wing or a tapered straight wing? Will the wing profile be flat, or will dihedral, cranked dihedral or polyhedral added? Will the wingspan be relatively small or as wide as possible? And finally will the wing be swept back or not?
最后,机翼是最后也是最难的部分。在设计机翼时,有许多选项可供选择。是做矩形机翼还是锥形直机翼?机翼外形是平面的,还是二面的、曲二面的或多面的?翼展设计为较小还是尽可能宽?以及,机翼是否会被后掠?
With all the possible customization options a total of 128 possible variations of the simple glider can be made. This allows students many customization opportunities to explore and test while still providing structure and support to maximize the student success rate.
这些最终可以有128种不同简单滑翔机的可能性。让学生在有足够的帮助和指导下对不同的可能性进行探索和测试,最大限度地提高成功率。
