Flight : Aerodynamics

Aim:  To look at the 4 main forces of flying and how these can be overcome

Hypothesis : I think

Method : Working in pairs you are going  to make a paper wing and experiment with it


Plane type
How does it behave?
Time ( secs)
Paper sheet, drop

It slowly to the direction where the wind is stronger
1 sec [about]
Paper with fold down middle, drop
First part it may go slowly but then since the wind is strong the wind kinda made go to many directions
2 sec [about]
Paper with fold and 1 paper clip, drop

because the other side was heavier that side will most likely go down further
 1 [about]
Fold, 2 clips, rudder, drop

it goes down much more further cause of the stuff on it
1 [about] 
Fold, 2 clips, rudder throw

It did the same thing but just went down a little bit plus the stuff on it or in it is making it heavier/ 1 sec

Findings : Sometimes the wind is just too strong that it adds more pressure behind more a little bit 
mostly some of the stuff it is probably the wind

=

Conclusion : Paper with fold middle plus drop fell longer and the last one had more foldings to it which makes it heavier
