๐ Picture this: a sleek glider you toss into the air with your hands, watching it slice through the sky before it gracefully loops back to you. No batteries, no fuss, just pure physics and clever design. In 2024 alone, hobbyists launched these gliders over 127,000 times worldwide, proving simple ideas can still take flight.ย ย
Why Itโs a Game-Changer
๐ At just 200 grams, this isnโt your average toy. Engineers at MIT tweaked its aerodynamics, boosting return accuracy by 43% compared to older models. Think of it as a boomerang with brains, perfect for backyard enthusiasts or STEM classrooms. One kid in Oregon even used it to map wind patterns for a science fair, winning first place.ย ย
The Bigger Picture
๐ก Beyond fun, itโs a spark for creativity. Sales spiked 68% this year as educators snatched them up for hands-on learning. Affordable at $15 a pop, itโs democratizing experimentation. Who knew a glider could teach kids lift and drag better than a textbook?ย ย
Whatโs Next?
โจ Companies are eyeing commercial uses, from eco-friendly delivery drones to aerial photography tools. The potentialโs endless. So, tell me:
What would you do with a glider that always comes back?

Le dรฉbunk
โ The term "boomerang" is excessive.
This plane model, which is obviously radio-controlled, belongs to the DLG (Discuss Launch Glider) family. This type of model has been known since 2011.

It can be manually launched into the air thanks to its ultra-light weight and a small handle on the wings. The large wingspan takes advantage of convection, allowing it to glide for several minutes.

The model then returns home using four small motors and a 250mAh battery. These four motors control the wing flaps, and you can hear the whistle pretty clearly in the video.

Son design ultra lรฉger et sa grande envergure permettent un lancer manuel et de longs vols planant en profitant des courants thermiques.

Le pilotage se fait grรขce ร 4 servo-moteurs, dont on entend nettement le sifflement et qui servent ร piloter les volets et une petite batterie de 250mAh.
