Making 'The Cygnet'
|
On Thursday
27th July Andrew White, a design engineer from BAE Systems gave us a masterclass on the theory
of flight. He then gave us the design for a small rubber powered aircraft called 'The Cygnet.' The plane was made from balsa wood, insulating foam, mapping pins, a rubber band and a plastic propeller. |
'The Cygnet' |
These are the insulating foam parts of 'The Cygnet' |
| We were given the materials and a set of instructions to make 'The Cygnet.' This challenge was completed sucessfully by most people with only a little bit of help from the adult helpers ( in some cases they were more of a hinderence.) |
