A Scientific Inquiry into Air Film Crafts

CSEF · 2002 Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics

Primo Catalano · Wilson Middle School, Pasadena

Overview

Methods/Materials 1. First, I built the track which the crafts ride on. 2. Second, I built multiple crafts or Air Film Crafts. 3. Then out of the crafts that that I built, I timed the ones that moved. The materails I used were 1"x4"strips of balsa wood, wood glue, tape, 1"x1"x4' metal pole, stop watch, and camera. Results My results were, that if you put fins in the frount ack as wieghts lifting up the rear, letting more air out the back making thrust. Conclusions/Discussion My conclusion is that yes I could build a track that could make a film of air that the crafts could ride on.

Summary statement

I compared the speed of several crafts which were propelled on a countinuos film of air.
