Fast Fact #4 [460]
Gliders, like paper airplanes, don’t have engines. However, gliders have travelled ever 1,000 miles in one flight and have reached altitudes of more than eight miles above earth. ... (read more)
Paper Airplane Experiments [357]
OVERVIEW: Most elementary students do not have a good grasp of the scientific method or how to set-up an experiment, collect data, test a hypothesis, or organize the information after an experiment. Children can do real science by asking simple 'what it questions' that can be tested. for example my son, David, wondered what type of popc... (read more)
Fast Fact #3 [342]
The longest recorded distance flown by a paper airplane thrown from the ground indoors is 193 fest (more than twice the length of a basketball court). It was thrown by Tony filch in la crease, Wisconsin, on may 21, 1965.... (read more)
Catching A Plane [276]
You’ll need two or more people and at least one airplane for this game. Any model will do, but we recommend the Butterfly, Slice, or Count. Start by standing close together, and then have each player take two big steps away from the others. Throw the plane back and forth as if it were a ball, with the players plucking it from the air. Tr... (read more)
Why paper airplanes fly? [268]
Despite my degree in aerospace engineering and many years work in the field, explaining why a paper airplane stays in the air is not easy. I’ll begin by saying that paper airplane fly using the game general principles as real airplanes, both are controlled by four basic forces: weight, lift, thrust, and drag. Think of it as two teams each... (read more)
What To Do If [254]
It Doesn’t Spins make sure the blades are little up from level. Other than that, there’s really no way to adjust this aircraft, se if for some reason one of your doesn’t fly wall, fold up another. ... (read more)
Folding Instructions [238]
Any 8 ½ by 11 sheet of copier or typewriter paper will work for these airplane. My personal favourite is 20 pound copier paper that has been copied onto once. Most photocopiers have a heat process that stiffens the paper just a little, helping the sheet hold a crease. Always fold accurately and crisply; this can not be stressed enoug... (read more)
A Short History of Paper Airplanes [231]
The history of paper airplanes has never truly been established, but it is believed that the first piece of flying paper was likely a crumpled up piece of the first paper tossed aside to the garbage. Paper is believed to have originated with the Chinese almost 2000 years ago, so most flight historians believe that this is where the first ... (read more)
Just floating on Air. Paper Airplane Science [204]
After they are launched, paper airplanes fall through the air, pulled down by gravity. As they fall wings deflect air backwards and so the plane glides forward. An efficiently designed wing also throws air down to produce lift. In addition, in order to fly well paper airplanes must be stable. Material An 8.5 by 11 sheet of paper a... (read more)
Papering the Skies whith the Scientific Method [192]
PURPOSE: Create a lab to demonstrate the scientific method using a simple classic paper airplane.HYPOTHESIS: When you have decided on a plan (procedure), make a prediction based on the procedure you have developed to use the paper airplane.PROCEDURE: Materials : Notebook, ruler, paper, pen, paper airplane, set of instructions for construc...
