Eagle Vs Glider Project Essay

438 Words2 Pages

Our goals for this experiment is to make paper airplanes that will fly more than ten feet, and to not screw them up. The two best planes we used is The Eagle, and The Glider. In this project, we switched roles, for Arianna’s three planes, Misly recorded the data, well Arianna threw the paper airplanes, vice versa. On the day, we started to test the planes, it was hot with a bit of a breeze blowing. Also, one thing that might had impacted our project was that there were little kids in our way sometimes, and we started late. Anyways, our hypothesis is that The Eagle will do better in the experiment, then the other planes, because when we searched up the planes, people that had made the plane before, said it had good velocity. We think …show more content…

The Glider kept going in circles, most of the time. We didn’t expected the paper airplane to go in circles. We think that it was the way the air was blowing and the tip of the paper airplane, that caused the plane to go in circles. The tip of the plane was heavier, than the other planes, so gravity was pulling it down. We also think that The Eagle was the smoothest because we folded it more tighter, than the other ones. One thing that went as planned is that The Eagle was the smoothest and went farther than that other paper airplanes. All the paper airplanes went pass the ten feet mark, or went ten feet. Some of the paper airplanes did rip, well we were making them, which did cause us to start late. At first the The Eagle was not as smooth so we tightened the folds and it worked. We also didn’t think The Glider, would fly in circles, and costed it to fly less feet. Which we could find a way to make sure the tip isn’t really heavy. Our trust was not good also, so the velocity was not good, We could go back and change the way we threw it. We could be more careful with them, too. My second hypothesis is that if we make The Glider’s folds more tight and make the point less heavy, it might not go in circles
