Design Concept

The F117 Nighthawk Glider is inspired by the iconic stealth aircraft, scaled down for hobbyists who appreciate both aviation history and hands-on design.

Use

This model serves as a fun and educational tool for enthusiasts to explore fundamental aerodynamics principles. Its lightweight design makes it perfect for indoor flight demonstration or light outdoor use in gentle conditions.

Print Recommendations

To achieve best results, use PLA or a similar material with high strength and low weight. Opt for a fine layer height to ensure smooth aerodynamic surfaces. Supports may be needed for the wing tips and fuselage.

Assembly Instructions

Post-printing assembly is minimal. Ensure all components, such as the wings and fuselage, are cleanly detached from support materials. Slip them into the designated slots tightly. Some sanding may be beneficial for edges to improve aerodynamics.
