CSEF · 2003

Dihedral Angles and Their Effect on Flight

Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics

Objectives/Goals This experiment was designed to determine if the dihedral angle of a plane's wing affects a plane's length of flight. The dihedral angle is the angle of a plane's wing to a…

Does Shape Matter?

Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics

Objectives/Goals Our objective is to see how the shape of a car can affect how fast it will go. Our hypothesis is that the shape of the cars will make a difference in how fast they go. This…
