Science Project on “Understanding Aerodynamics”, Project Experiment Topics on Flight, Motion & Friction for Class 8, 9, 10 and 12 Students.
Understanding Aerodynamics
Materials Required:
- A sheet of typing paper
- A piece of wax paper
- A piece of aluminium foil
- Paper clips
- Tacky clay
It is common knowledge that the objective in making a paper airplane is to see how long it remains in the air, before the force of gravity can pull it down.
Several factors can determine the ‘flight time’ of the plane, like the shape of the wings or the material, with which the plane is made.
Start by making three airplanes of the same design, the only difference being that they should be made with the help of different materials, like perhaps typing paper, wax paper or may be even an aluminium foil.
It may also be that the same design may not work the same way for all materials. So you should also try and see how well, you can manage different designs with different materials.
Also experiment by using bits of tacky clay in different positions of your airplane, or also by attaching paper clips in different positions.
Maybe the right position of their placement can get your plane flying for a longer time in the sky.
You must also take the wind and other atmospheric conditions into account, while take-off. It may help you if you let your plane, off into the wind, rather than against it.
For the sake of comparison, do remember to make a chart of your observations in each case.
