Challenge 1 Design
Conclusion Questions
1. I did not really understand the term Root Chord at first but then I found out it meant the width of the wing, vertical tail and stabilizer which helped increase the area of the selected parts.
2. The vertical stabilizer is at an angle in the front and in the back slightly.
3. The AERY software kept telling me to remove mass from the nose but at the same time increase mass at the nose so what i did was increase the area of the wing which helped it fly.

Challenge 2
Conclusion Questions
1. The second challenge was more difficult than the first because the vertical stabilizer was in the front of the plane before the wings which through off the center of gravity and made it harder to construct
2. The constraints for the second project definitely made it harder to construct because everything had to be perfectly placed and balanced with the vertical stabilizer in the front.

Constructing Challenge 1 Glider
While constructing the canard glider, i experienced many challenges.
Testing
I never even got to test my airplane except for 2 times where it performed horribly and traveled a distance of 5 feet and 7 feet in the air and it broke and I never got to test again. In all, the project went terribly and was poorly executed by me.
