Vehicle Testing

The first vehicles we've tested have been a glider and a raft, both taking advantage of renewable energy resources- wind and wave current.

Our flying vehicle








Playing around with our first glider.


Testing how our glider's performance holds up outside in its real environment.

Our sea vehicle- raft







Our first trial of two versions of our sea vehicle, a raft.
Floated quite well, even when the natural elements tested.

After talking with our tutors, they've recommended looking into how a kite glides and have emphasized the need for refinement in design and attention to detail when constructing.
