Winged Wonders

I think the wide wing flyer will travel the farthest distance because it has wider wings so more lift and less drag.

Wing designs are really important in when making a paper airplanes because depending on how much you want your plane to stay in the air. According to Bernoulli’s principle Lift is explained: on a plane there is faster moving air on the top of the wing so lower pressure and on the bottom part of wing there's slow air so more pressure then it makes an upward force on the plane called lift that is what causes the plane to fly. According to Bernoulli's principle drag is the force thats holding the airplane back or paper airplane back so less drag than farther flight and if there is a lot of drag than small distance the plane will travel. According to Bernoulli’s principle Thrust is the force that's moving the airplane forward so the more the Thrust the farther the flight The less the thrust the shorter the flight. According to Bernoulli's principle weight is the force pulling the airplane or paper airplane down so more the weight than the plane will not be able to fly the less the weight the more higher the plane will be in the sky To make airplanes fly for long period of time you can make the wings wider that helps reduce drag and if on a real plane fuel

Manipulated / Dependent Variable The thing im changing in the experiment is the wing design of a paper plane.

Responding / Independent VariableI think the distance will be affected because there are going to be different wing designs How will you measure it? :I will be measuring it by how far it lands

Controlled Variables

Things we have to be very careful to keep the same every time we test so that they do not affect the results/outcome of the experiment:

I have to it in the same area and i have to have the same size of paper and the same type of paper and put same pressure on each plane

1.Make a question

2. Do background information

3. Make a hypothesis

4. Conduct an experiment

4. Collect the results

5. Make a conclusion

6. Record your results

trial 1

The wide wing flew the most distance But all of them flew pretty smoothly And straight so all of them were good planes to fly in narrow spaces

trial 2

The wide wings did some curves this time but did not hit the wall and the rest of the planes went pretty smoothly

trial 3 This time the long narrow winning went and did some curves but did not crash Into the wall and the rest went smoothly

Everytime the wide wing flew the farthest but in the start i thought i was wrong but then i was surprised when wide wing flew the most. The rest of the planes flew pretty smoothly not bumping into the wall i thought it would bump into the wall a few times

My hypothesis was correct because:

Wide wing had wide wings which put a lot of lift so it travelled the most distance

If someone wanted to build a new type of airplane with these results you can tell which plane design is better and has more lift

Maybe the paper affected the experiment or the area or maybe the size of the paper or the type of the paper

I have acknolaged the use of all the websites people or anything
