Mangaluru: The second day of Aerophilia 2017 saw an interesting workshop on “Chuck Gliders and Paper Planes” by former commander P R A Narayanan at Sahyadri college which threw light on the functioning of chuck gliders and paper planes and various factors to be considered while flying them. 
By the end of the workshop, students were able to build their own gliders and planes. This was followed by a technical talk by Prof. B N Kulkarni, Dr. Rajanikanth Shastri, Prof. B N Karkera and M R Vasudeva exposing the participants to newer possibilities thus enabling them to broaden their ideas. In addition to these sessions, paper plane and chuck glider competitions were organised wherein the young competitors set their creations flying high in air.
