My investigation results were quite surprising because I wasn’t confident with it flying anywhere farther than 5 meters when making the plane. Usually, when you throw a paper plane it does a weird looping maneuver, so it doesn’t end up going anywhere. I am very happy and pleased with the results overall. I learned a few things from this project which are, the plane should have an even weight distribution on the front and the back in order for it to fly further and more smoothly, the second thing is that making the paper out of bigger paper made it better because it became longer which increased the aerodynamics significantly by supplying more area for it to push through. Next time, I will know how to make the farthest flying plane because I’ve now done my investigation that proved how longer and lighter planes are easier to fly. I have included a photo below of my best paper airplane that worked and flew the best.
