Lift, all about it
Overview
we will make an aeroplane that will lift of and glide to demonstrate the science of lift and aerodynamics
Problem
Almost all of us have travelled on an aeroplane. Aeroplanes use lift and aerodynamics to fly and move swiftly in the air. We believe that we can make students understand better about lift and aerodynamics.
Method
We built an aeroplane model out of cardboard which was glued and taped together it took many days of teamwork. We will use this to demonstrate how lift and aerodynamics work.We will also show how a plane lifts off from the propulsion from the air
Analysis
This plane will show how air flows on the body of a plane and how the plane lifts off of the ground and continues to glide for the duration of its flight.
Conclusion
After our demonstration we hope that everyone understands how aeroplanes take off and glide with the help of aerodynamics and lift. In the process we also learned a lot about lift and aerodynamics.
Citations
we used mutiple sites like google, NASA, freinds and family as well as a few books like the big book of airplanes by DK and gave us a significant amount of information.
Acknowledgement
people involved were Harrisons dads freind, Pat wetherup, who told us some basics of lift. Eesa's mom, Hira Sadiq also helped with building the model of the plane Eesas Dad, Omair Sadiq helped with information on areodynamics.
