Designing an O-Wing Glider

How can I build an O-Wing glider that will fly the farthest? Teams of secondary mathematics preservice teaching candidates used the engineering design process and mathematical modeling to improve on the basic design of an O-Wing glider. The modeling teams collaboratively used iteration to improve their control glider by first working together to develop an engineering plan that tests design modifications to a control glider; Next, team members individually tested different modifications and reporting their findings to the team; and Finally, the team members collaborated to implement information from the individual reports and test their final model design.
