Paper Planes 6th, 12th and 13th April

Aim: I want to find out how to make paper plane. How to fly a paper plane and how many loops can a paper plane fly.

Equipment: Paper

Method:

Get a paper

Fold the paper in half

Fold down the top corners to the centre line

Fold the paper to half and leave 1 inch at the bottom

Fold the new top corners to the centre line

Fold up centre flap

Fold the plane in half so the centre flap shows

Fold down the wings of the plane

It will make a accordian fold 

Repeat it for the wing

12th April

My plane flew well. It went straight and fast and reached the end of the room. I think the plane depends on how you throw it if you want it to fly far. 

Discussion

I think my plane could go well if I throw it in the right position because I think the plane can go further if I can throw it right. It depends on how you throw it and depends on the air. It can also depends on the type of paper plane. 

The forces acting on plane

Lift, Drag, Thrust and weight
