Abstract
The article presents the methodology and results of a simulation study on the air flow around a glider, focusing on the issue of changing the lift force and drag force in changing atmospheric conditions. The experiment was based on simulations in the SolidWorks Flow Simulation 2022 software suite. The model for simulation research was developed at the Faculty of Technical Sciences of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn (Poland).
