BigAir Supply glider
Inspiration
Our idea started with a simple question: Can ancient engineering inspire modern defense solutions? Our team's beloved weapon - the trebuchet - showed us how pure physics can move heavy loads with precision and range. But what if we used the trebuchet to transport supplies instead of attacking the enemy? We tried to reimagine how a trebuchet could be used in a modern environment, but after lengthy calculations we realized other methods would be much more efficient. After long hours of brainstorming, we came up with the idea of gliding our supplies and equipment through the air straight to the battlefield.
What it does
Basically, it's a cargo glider that can be airdropped from a safe distance to deliver supplies in contested environments.
How we built it
- Calculated a lot, to prove that our concept is even possible
- Built a 3D model
- Built a website
Challenges we ran into
- We had one morning to develop our solution, all other time was used to brainstorm
- Website hosting
Built With
