This paper embarks on an in - depth and far - reaching exploration into the computational simulation of F3F glider flight performance, with a pronounced and unwavering focus on the application of composite material optimization design within the highly specialized and dynamic realm of flight engineering. By skillfully and comprehensively integrating advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods and material mechanics theories, a painstakingly detailed, holistic, and all - encompassing analysis of the aerodynamic and structural characteristics of F3F gliders is meticulously executed. The overarching and primary objective is to optimize the composite material design in a comprehensive and systematic manner, thereby enhancing the flight performance of F3F gliders across multiple critical and interrelated aspects. These aspects include, but are not limited to, the lift - to - drag ratio, stability, and endurance. Through painstaking numerical simulations, in - depth and rigorous data analysis, and a series of well - designed experiments, the research delves deep into the intricate influence of diverse composite material parameters on F3F glider flight performance. This exploration not only offers a robust, reliable, and evidence - based theoretical foundation but also provides highly practical, actionable guidance for the design, refinement, and continuous improvement of high - performance F3F gliders.
