Benefits of technology

[0021]It is an advantage of the present invention to provide a toy glider fly to higher altitude and then gliding down.
[0022]Another advantage of the invention is arranging slow rebound foam to make existing toy glider's horizontal tail movable is very easy, as long as the upper surface of the

Problems solved by technology

There are so many devices and mechanisms successfully make toy glider fly higher as we have seen from above existing inventions, as we know heavier aircraft cannot fly higher, the maximum height that the glider can reach is depend on its total weight when under the same launch force, the existing mechanism installed for folding wi

Embodiment Construction

[0039]To build a movable horizontal tail glider, we starting from assembling basic aircraft components (see FIG. 1), a piece of flight control surfaces 2 which contains wings 21 and horizontal tail 22 mounted on an unbent fuselage 1 in the upper surface of the unbent fuselage 1 in rear end alignment, a set of vertical tail 23 are fixed on the rear of the flight control surfaces 2, a canopy 4 is fixed on the front end of the flight control surfaces 2 for balance, a catapult hook 11 is installed in the front bottom of the fuselage 1, The assembled glider as seen in FIG. 1 with horizontal tail 22 flat to the front wings 21 will fly a straight line when the center of gravity of the glider is balanced. When use a rear end up tilted fuselage 1 for the same assembly steps as above, as seen in FIG. 2, the horizontal tail 22 is upturned at negative angle relative to the wings 21, and the glider will travel a circular path all the time.

Abstract

The invention relates to a horizontal tail of a catapult launched glider which can change angles during flight. An horizontal tail which can change angles means that the horizontal tail is movable, a movable horizontal tail is achieved by sandwich a slow rebound means between the horizontal tail and the fuselage, the slow rebound means could be a memory foam or a compressible plastic telescopic tube, their properties is delayed restitution when the pressure acting thereon disappears, so the horizontal tail on top of the slow rebound foam is boosted and maintained at a negative angle with the longitudinal axis of the fuselage when there is no pressure acting on it, the compressible slow rebound means allows the horizontal tail be pressed downward from negative angle to zero angle or even to positive angle when squeeze the tail portion of the glider by fingers before launch, the horizontal tail is maintained at zero angle or positive angle at that time, after launch, the horizontal tail moves towards negative angle with a slow speed which is controlled by the expansion rate of the slow rebound means, the glider travels in the sky with a nearly straight upward climb first, then go down with a smooth gliding and landing as the horizontal tail has been propped up by the slow rebound means. Another play mode is by griping the sides of the fuselage without touching the horizontal tail, the glider will fly in circles.
