Abstract
This article has concentrated on the development of a set of core technologies key to the realization of an autonomous 2-g glider. One aspect which was not discussed in detail was the ease of construction and low cost of an individual MicroGlider. Integration is simplified through a number of rapid prototyping techniques and the low costs of most components allow rigorous testing to be done without worry of substantial damage.
