This project was made to experiment with a construction method for the glider wing. In this paper, we will explain the principles of building a glider wing and all the phenomena necessary to understand this process. As part of the work, an experimental model of a glider wing was created at a scale of 1:450, made by 3D printing from UV resin and covered with glass fiber. In the physical model, you can see the structure of the wing and the materials used. In the introduction, we will explain the principle of flight of an aircraft to better understand the importance of the materials used in the aeronautical field and the shapes chosen for the wing geometry. The experiment looks at the strength of such a wing in flight, tested in specialized programs, as well as the ease of its design, also analyzed in programs such as SolidWorks and XFLR5. Next, we will explain the physical construction process and the steps taken to obtain the final object.
