Welcome back after Christmas, Our final hovercraft session.

What a brilliant final session working on the hovercraft project. Next week we need to meet on Monday evening ( staff meeting on the Tuesday evening that week ). Regarding the hovercraft we experimented a little with the cushions ( bags ) and used a larger cushion to see what effects it had. We also looked at making simple steering rudders and how these affected the hovercraft.
We are moving on to structures - however we have not finished looking at hovercraft. Next year we will make larger models - possibly big enough to lift YOU...!!!



Can you find out what Fibonacci gave the western world - apart from his famous number sequence? Hint look up Liber abaci
