Gliders work like planes but without engines! The two different sized hoops create balance as the straw flies through the air. The big hoop creates “drag” and the smaller hoop helps your glider steer straight. If your glider flies fast enough it will lift, which causes the glider to stay in the air longer. The longer the glider stays in the air, the more drag it will create!
