Different styles of wings can affect a paper airplane's flight distance by changing factors such as lift and drag. Wings with a larger surface area or higher aspect ratio tend to generate more lift, promoting longer flights. On the other hand, wings with a more streamlined shape can reduce drag, contributing to improved aerodynamics and potentially increasing the distance the paper airplane can travel.

i think the construction paper airplane will fly farther

If you are faxing your resume, make sure the copy you are faxing is on WHITE. It should be plain white with no texture or background. If you are taking your resume to an interview or mailing it so that the hiring manager will be viewing your print and not a facsimile, go to Kinko's with your resume on disk in MS Word. They have a plethora of choices suitable for resumes. From these, you should choose one a. that you like and b. that seems appropriate for the company: eg. You might use Sea Spray (a blueish shade) if you are applying for a position at an aquarium.

An experimental constant is a parameter of an experiment that doesn't change throughout the course of the experiment.

Launch height could be a constant in a glide ratio experiment featuring several paper airplanes.

pizza

No. Acceleration due to gravity is constant. That's why a hollow lead ball dropped from a height will strike at the same time as solid lead ball of equal dimensions. Whats important is the shape of the glider and the air resistance that it can generate. In a vacuum both would fall at an equal rate.

its the eagle heres how yau do it........ go on google and type ''what is the fastest paper airplane'' then click on the first thing you see and follow the steps and this is what you get image not found

No, Leo did not invent the paper airplane.

Not so much the shape of the nose that affects the flight of a paper plane, but the weight.

If the weight of the plane isn't distributed properly the angle of attack is too small or to large making the plane nose dive or stall.

Make sure there is weight in the center of gravity of your model.

Thousands of paper airplane glider designs exist. See related links for examples.

Below are listed three good web sites that have many different origami patterns of all different skill levels.

More information can be found at each of the sites listed below.

The weight, if concentrated towards the paper airplane's front, will make the plane a stunt plane. If balanced, the plane will be a glider or a dart. The Paper Aeronautics Association (http://www.paperaeronautics.org/tipsforagoodplane) have more tips on their website. it will work

Yes. Some create more lift than the others. Glider paper planes have more lift due to big wings. Paper planes like Classic dart fly faster but for less amount of time.

if you place a paper clip on your paper airplane, you may find it improves performance by equalizing the load (weight) and lift (what the wings generate)

They are used to propel the airplane forward to get air moving across the wings. When air moves across the wings lift is created and you take off. Another interesting note: A propeller is an airfoil just like a wing is.

They make the airplane more versatile, less expensive, or both. A similar question is, "now that they have jet airplanes, why do they make propeller planes at all?" First, a propeller plane is less expensive than a jet. Let's give you six million dollars to buy an airplane, and make you buy new. $6 million gets you an entry-level jet. It will carry four executives if they restrict themselves to one suitcase each. The same $6 million will get you a Pilatus PC-12 or a Beech King Air B200, which are basically small airliners, or it will get you two EADS Socata TBM 850s, three Cessna Caravans, or three Piper Meridians. And that's just turboprops--$6 million will get you about a dozen piston planes. The other reason, and this is more important for a lot of operators, is that the propeller plane is more versatile than a jet. You can land on unimproved airstrips. You can land on top of mountains. In Mel Gibson's movie Air America there's a scene where he lands a Pilatus Porter on the side of a mountain--the real Air America pilots in Southeast Asia did that a lot. Jets, unless they're built for the military and equipped for rough airfield service, have to fly onto paved airstrips. Airbus is busy designing the A400 military transport. It has four turboprops. The drawback of a prop plane is that it can't be very fast--if you need a plane that flies faster than 400 knots, you need a jet. Prop planes don't fly as high as jets do; a King Air will fly up to 31,000 feet above sea level, while business jets routinely ply the skies above 41,000 feet. Propellers are not used to force air across the wing. they are used to create motion. In other word make the plane move and it's the resultant forward movement that moves air across the wing to create lift and get the plane off the ground

The size of the paper does affect the distance it travels, but it also makes it heavier.

i would assume just like general aviation it would be lift (upwards) weight or gravity (downwards) thrust (forward) and drag (backwards)

Of course! If the airplane is very thick it will go very fast. I learned that from my project.

The answer to this question is a matter of some fairly simple physics which I will try to explain to you.

First, you need to understand that most paper airplanes are not really airplanes. Airplanes fly because the shape of the wing produces lift; paper airplanes mostly fly as projectiles, meaning that they fly because you throw them.

The first reason that the lighter airplane might not fly as far is in the design. Typically, the lighter paper airplane will have larger wings, and therefore, more drag. Since it is virtually impossible to make the paper airplane perfectly symmetrical, one of the wings has more drag which causes the airplane to spin and crash short of its maximum possible distance.

The second reason is also related to the design. If you have a light airplane with more drag and a heavy airplane with less drag, the heavy airplane can fly much more easily. This is because the heavier airplane has less drag as well as more momentum to "push" through the air. On this note, a piece of paper crumpled into a ball will fly further than most paper airplanes I have seen just because is has lots of mass for the level of drag it induces. The crumpled piece of paper also will probably fly much straighter that the paper airplane too, just because it is fairly uniform in shape. At this point, we are completely ignoring lift; but at such a small scale with such light material, it works better that way due to the reasons above. Of course, if you put engines and control surfaces on the paper structure, you change the game entirely. Now it has to fly with lift instead of as a projectile otherwise it will crash because it has no control. This explains why real airplanes are not just big balls of metal.

Japanese origamist/engineer built a paper plane called the sky king spending 11 years to make it finally made it perfect enough to last 27.9 seconds in the air his name Takuo Toda broke the record of 27.6 seconds

Hi

I hope you are not trying to cheat your way into the record books with this question, But honestly there is a paper plane world championships. Just google the "Paper Plane World Championships" to see what is going on.

Using a specially designed 10cm long paper plane, Takuo Toda's origami flight in a Japan Airlines hangar near Tokyo's Haneda Airport lasted 26.1s.While just short of the world record 27.9 seconds, it was a new record for a paper-only plane -- the world record (also held by Toda) was set by one with tape on it.

Toda - head of the Japan Origami Airplane Association - said he was pleased with the record but hopes to achieve a 30 second flight soon.

Research shows that for a stunt paper airplane, smaller wings with forward-concentrated weight are optimal. For a glider, make a large wingspan and light, evenly balanced weight. Also, the wider the wings are the easier it will be to gain lift and the more narrower the wings are the harder it will be to stay in the air longer.

Not too sure what you mean by modifications, but I'll have a go.

A basic one is those little flaps on the side of the wings; always a good one to keep it stable. I'm not sure what the different between flaps that go up or down.

Another is the stabilizer, by a simple vertical cut in the body of the airplane (The strip you hold), then folding the other way so it makes a triangle which stabilizes the airplane.

Then there is my personal favorite: ailerons. If you don't know what they are, I advise you to look them up, they are very interesting.

You can make them by cutting two slots out of the back of both wings. Make two cuts on a wing and you should get a small rectangle that can be folded up or down. Do this to both, and by changing their position before flight, they can make the plane do many things, it's cool to experiment.

Hope these help!
