Preliminary cfd analysis on the full sailplane

I am just trying to see the fluid dynamics of an airfoil

to simulate air flowing across a glider.
so an air simulation.

An aerodynamics simulation done on a balsa glider designed for class.

I will be analyzing the aerodynamics of simple toy gliders and see the lift and drag

CFD of a glider designed for year 1 student competition.

A CFD sim of incompressible air over the fuselage of the ASW-28 glider

For a bachelor thesis, the coefficients of drag, lift and pitching moment need to be calculated. Model is a RC Glider.

Found an altoids box, a broken drone, and motors from an old DVD player and decided to try at making a glider to fly.

The goal is to investigate the behavior of an one-hour-design 3D printed glider while it gets actually printed.

116 minutes remaining before the wing sections are printed. Fin and fuselage still needs to be manufactured.
Hopefully some useful information will be acquired from this steady state incompressible CFD simulation before the hardware is all ready.
What is the speed range this plane can operate. Will this plane actually fly or it will be just a demo piece.

The glider is designed by some rules of thumb. 

Progress in the comments below!
