A glider competition tests participants’ skills in designing and launching unpowered aircraft, focusing on achieving the longest flight distance, time, or precision in landing. These lightweight gliders rely solely on aerodynamic design and initial launch force for flight. Materials such as balsa wood, foam, or composite materials are often used to construct the glider, ensuring…

A water rocket competition challenges participants to design and launch rockets powered by air pressure and water. These rockets typically use plastic bottles as their main body. Participants pump air into the bottle, creating pressure that propels the rocket when released. Competitions often focus on objectives like achieving maximum altitude, flight duration, or landing accuracy.
