Flight -2 Aerodynamics

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

Hypothesis: I thought that the paper would fly longer.

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	whirls .	2s 97
Paper with fold down middle, drop	drop & glides	1s 53
Paper with fold and 1 paper clip, drop	glides	2s 62
Fold, 2 clips, rudder, drop	drops	1s 78
Fold, 2 clips, rudder throw	sinks	2s 05

Findings: The sheet always landed on the floor around about 1-2 seconds every time. 

Conclusion: The normal paper sheet lasted the longest.
