WATER + SOAP THIN FILM POWERS THE GLIDER the above instructable video explains how to quickly create a liquid glider plane. it is a simple yet innovative project that only involves a


3D-printed plastic chassis and some soap water. the plane wings have big gaping holes, and so does the wide tail. those slots are filled with a thin film once the frame is dipped in the


liquid mix. the glider has now a full surface for the least amount of weight possible, and it is ready to fly for what from the video looks like a 50 feet distance. this visually hypnotizing


widget is the second version of a youtuber’s attempt to create a water-winged glide. the new edition has bigger dimensions, with the designer giving much more room to the liquid layer that


allows the plane to float in the air. a barely visible film stretches throughout the glider gaps.   A WIDER-WINGS, LONGER RANGE UPDATE  the 3D .stl file needed to reproduce this little plane


is not yet available but you can buy the physical item on ebay. with a small size that fits in one hand, and a short distance range, this glide may not have many business purposes. however,


it can be a fun experiment for those who are interested in 3D-printing. the v2 3D-printed frame. step one: pour water and soap in a bowl. step two: dip the glider in the liquid. version 1
