  2. Paper Airplane Project

  3. Understand • Goal- create a paper airplane that flies for the longest amount of time and the longest distance with the following materials. • one standard-size sheet of copy paper (required) • one standard paper clip (optional) • three inches of tape (optional) • a dab of glue (optional) • three staples (optional)

  4. Explore and Define • - Putting a tail on our planes. • - We discovered the different angles of dihedrals. • - We figured that putting elevators (flaps on back) would keep the plane aloft.

  5. Explore and Define (cont.) • - We also felt that putting rudders on our plane (side folds) would keep our plane straight. • - Evenly distribute the weight so the plane is not too front heavy

  6. Ideate • Using an airplane folding book and looking online, we made and decided on which designs to use. • Online we found designs such as the sparrow (shown left) which seemed to provide all of our selected design features

  7. Prototype and Refine The tail of the plane was weak and made the plane curve too much The staples that were add made the back of the airplane too heavy. The elevators and rudders gave the plane a better flight time, but the plane wobbled in flight. The additional staples made the weight of the plane more evenly distributed

  8. Prototype and Refine (cont.) The thickness of the poster paper and the amount of folding required at the front of the plane, made the large scale design too front heavy, to the point that it who only fly a few feet and then nose dive. The nose no longer made the plane front heavy. The added rudders kept the plane flying straight, however the plane still wobbled in flight. When scaling the plane up by a factor of 2, we discovered that the plane also needed to be scaled in width so the wings would be supported

  9. Solution Prototype with final product Video of the airplane in flight Suggestions for improvement: Make the wings with more surface area and find a design that flies better with more weight so that the large scale is better than the prototype

  10. Solution (Instructions) Fold the piece of paper hotdog style Open the folded paper and fold the corners in towards the center Fold the paper back in half Fold down the side of the paper until it is even with the bottom of the fold Fold down the wings to the desired length Next fold up the rudders on the plane to provide a straight flight Let the airplane fly
