Flight Aerodynamics

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

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

1. Make a paper wing out of A4 paper 
2. On the field you will need to record and observe how 5 different changes affect the way it flies.

Plane type	How does it behave?	Time ( secs)
Paper sheet, drop	It goes sideways before it drops.	2.25 sec
Paper with fold down middle, drop	It goes down very fast because of folded in the middle.	1.13
Paper with fold and 1 paper clip, drop	It went like a diving jet.	0.94 sec
Fold, 2 clips, rudder, drop	It went forward before it lands.	0.87 sec
Fold, 2 clips, rudder throw	It goes around a table it goes back to me before it drops.	2.62 sec

Findings: If you change the shape of the plane or make it heavier it changes.





Conclusion: It changes of the planne cause something different effect or the same effect.
