Consumers We have designed two gliders. One is for boys and one is for girls. Our age range for the boys is 11 years old. Our age range for the girls is 11 years old.

What did our targets want ? The boys wanted gliders that did stunts. The girls wanted gliders that go straight. Bright colors. Bold designs. Simple directions. They also want help to build a glider.

What did we learn from our first glider ? We learned that if you have wide wings the plane will soar. We also learned that you have to have the wings in the right position to go straight. We learned how to launch a glider the right way.
