Glider is a toy that is launched into the air with a rubber-band launcher. It consists of a fuselage with interchangable wing attachments. Each attachment has has a varying degree of sweep (which can be forwards or backwards according to how the child attaches them) and adjustable control surfaces such as elevators and wing tips. As children play with the toy, they can try different combinations of surface and wing adjustments to see how the toy travels through the air. In doing so, they are introduced to some basic principles of aerodynamics.

Children ages six and oldercan play with Glider in groups as they try to keep their plane in the air longest, cover the most distance, or simply play catch.

Glider would be made out of plastic and contain little moving parts, making mass production a relatively simple task. There is no need for high precision in fabricating the interlocking rails on the wing attachments and fuselage; tolerance between the two can be set high without greatly affecting Glider's performance.

The wing attachments might pose a choking risk if they are made too small and easy to swallow. To avoid this, Glider's interchangable parts should be large enough not to pass through a child's mouth and throat. Younger children might accidently (or purposely) hit each other with Glider, so parental supervision would be recommended for younger ages.
