Aluminum Wings

For a science fair project in another class, I had to make aluminum wings to complete a flying trajectory. I designed and cut the wings out on the CNC machine using a 1/8″ bit. It took a few times to create the right dimensions and a trial run in order to cut out the wings correctly. Each time a dimension was set, it took a total of three days to complete the cut. Unlike the laser cutter, the CNC requires multiple passes in order to make a complete cut.

Below is the finished trajectory…it worked…but the results were suboptimal.
