STEM Teaching Aid --> Foamboard Glider Control Surface Mounts

thingiverse

I designed these "H" clips to help teach students about the control surfaces of an airplane. Using a simple homemade glider from DollarTree foam board, you can attach various angle "H" clips onto the aircraft to simulate ailerons, flaps, elevators, and rudders. The students can then throw the glider and experience how each surface acts and try out different angle clips to achieve more or less aggressive maneuvers.
