Flight-Aerodynamics

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

Hypothesis:I think that

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 just dropped to the ground and it did not find some flight or air0.12
Paper with fold down middle, drop
It didn't find flight it just fell to the ground but it will improve more later.

0.23
Paper with fold and 1 paper clip, drop
It flew for a bit of time the wigs were perfect and it landed quite good.

2.38
