Aerodynamic
The study of the properties of moving air and the interaction between the air and solid bodies moving threw it
4 forces of flight:
- Gravity
- Thrust
- Lift
- Drag
Paper Plane:
Material:
1. Paper
2. Paper clip
Steps:
1. Get an A4 paper and fold in half and then open it up again
2. Make sure that it doesn't look like a mountain/fold the top two corners making a triangle folding it onto the middle line
3. After you fold the top corners down you than need to make a envolope shape folding it down.
Findings: That different ways to throw it changes the way it will fly and also when you try a different type of like plane/ like if you cut it or put paper clip on it, it was change how it flies.

Behaviour

Normal
| 1.0 | Swoop |
Ailerons
| 1.2 | Swoop |
Paper clips
| 3.8 | Swoop |
Conclusion: When we flew the normal plane it went a distance 1.0m. When we flew the plane with the Ailerons on it went a distance 1.2m. When we flew the plane we the paper clip on it went a distance of 3.8m.
They all swooped. None of them went straight
