Mini Glider Design and Implementation with Wing-Folding Mechanism

Blog Article

This paper describes a mini unmanned glider’s design, simulation, and manufacturing with a novel wing-folding mechanism.The mini-glider is designed for CanSat competition, which has a theme of a Mars glider concept with atmosphere data acquisition.The Acrylic Ornament Custom Shape aim is to facilitate the transportation of the glider and to land it on the destination point by following strict rules.Having a light and compact design is important since it uses power for the transmission of sensory data only.Dimensions of the glider is produced with a wingspan that is 440 mm and a length of 304 mm.

The wings reset switch can be stowed in a fixed size container that has a diameter of 125 mm and a height of 310 mm.Its weight is only 144 g and it can increase up to 500 g maximum with a payload.The mechanism, which includes springs and neodymium N48 grade magnets for a wing-folding system, is capable of being ready in 98 ms for gliding after separating from its container.The mini-glider is capable of telemetering, communicating, and conducting other sensory operations autonomously during the flight.
