We have been providing our Aerosquare glider activities to Shuttleworth Collection for their Festivals this year. Watch the montages below! Children learn how a basic glider flies - from first principles - which they then apply to make more complex and creative flying machines.
Central to this is our Gravity launcher which facilitates consistent launches so that adjustments to the trim of the glider can be demonstrated. This engages the imagination of children with critical thinking skills. Success (hitting the target) is sweet and wins the prize (a £15 worth duo glider pack - Spitfire and Hurricane) from our own product range.
"Thank you very much. The girls really enjoyed the challenge and I also learnt a lot about flight!"
"William will be really pleased to receive these 2 kits. He also hasn't stopped talking out his models he made with you guys. Thank you for all your time over the weekend spent advising improvements"
​
"We absolutely loved the activity and my boy hasn’t stopped talking about to everyone since. Thank you so much"
"Both my kids really enjoyed the plane making and testing on Sunday, they had a great time!"
​
" Our kids had lots of fun making and testing their plane designs at Shuttleworth.

We are always looking for ways to test aircraft concepts against one another accurately - here's one - RTP Round The Pole
This provides a known power to a known motor and a known airframe to compare different wing profiles. But to begin with we make scale aeroplane kits.
We then go on to design our own and make these on the laser cutter in corrugated card and poplar plywood. Very quick and easy to make, crash and repair.
