Physics in everyday use: Nympsfield Gliding Club. Materials And Basic Gliding Principles. The use of physics at Nympsfield club was varied and essential. Many different aspects of the club used physics principles including the winch (for take-off), the launch cable, the tow plane, the glider itself and many more. The glider is an aircraft in the simplest sense of the word. Equipped with only a large pair of wings, a light fuselage and a pilot and no engine a Glider can only glide. This means that a Glider must come down sooner or later. To discover how the Glider stays up in the air we must look at the most basic laws of physics and at the Glider itself in detail. The materials used to construct the Glider are of the utmost importantance as these can affect the entire flight of the Glider. In essence the Glider must be kept as light as possible...
