Construction Progress


Body Parts

We made a lot of progress cutting out each piece of the craft. 
On the far left is the main body, with a hole in the center cut
out for the fan. Next is the plate which is used to crate lift. It's
placed directly below the main plate. On the far right are the
pieces that will be glued to the lift plate. The function of these
are to keep more air underneath the craft, maximizing lift.
Skirt

The skirt was made of an old pool float, cut
down the middle, then cut in half. We thought
this would be a good material for the skirt because
it was strong, slightly rigid, and shaped nicely. If 
it does not work as well as we hope, we also have
a large black trash bag to use as a possible skirt 
as well.
