Paper Aircrafts: The Four Aerodynamics

Decent Essays

.aerodynamics with paper airplanes is exactly the same as the aerodynamics with a real airplane. There are four crucial things In order for a plane can fly, These are the aerodynamic forces. The four aerodynamics are, Lift, thrust, gravity, and drag. The lift is the force pushing the airplane to make it go up. The thrust is when you are throwing the airplane. Gravity is the force that pulls the plane down. finally, drag is the thrust pushing against the begining thrust slowing the plane down. my hypothesis is, If the tail has two pieces bent down then the plane with fly farther and faster.
There Is a lot of reasons why I chose this paper airplane design. One reason I chose this design Is, It looked really simple and easy. Another reason Is because the weight in the front and back look evenly distributed. as the artical 2.2 states,“Paper airplanes accomplish the same thing by bending the back edge of the wing up to fly slower, or down to fly …show more content…

First, you need to fold your paper In half but in portrait style. Second, you have to take the top right corner and the top left corner and fold it to the crease in the middle.Third, you have to take the top two corners again and fold them down to the middle crease. Fourth, take the entire paper airplane and fold it down the entire middle crease. Fifth, while the paper is still folded in half take one of the portions and fold it diagonally to the bottom on both proportions and fold them out and you're finished. That was the best way I could explain how to make the paper airplane. The way i will be testing my hypothesis is first, I'm going to make two identical paper airplanes, one will be airplane one and one will;; be airplane two. Second, I will make airplane one with the two flaps in the back up and airplane two with the flaps down. Third, I'm going to test each plane three times and record data. That is how i'm going to test and solve my
