Introduction
In this project, you will learn about the process by which projects are proposed, authorized, and proceed. You will design an original glider that sustains flight
for the longest possible distance. This design challenge has requirements including time to complete an original design. Use the skills, knowledge, and understanding you have about how flight is possible. See how far you can design your glider to go!
