Dose the amount of drag effect the distance flown by the airplane? This is going to be a drag:) Dec,2,2014
Thats Funny!!!!

2. Question?
Dose Increasing the amount of drag effect the distance flown by a paper airplane

3. Background info
I chose this project for one reason.I love the idea of flight.I aslo love anythng with a engine.The problom is...I cant seem to get ahold of a real airplane with a motor.So a paper air plane was the next best thing.I want a better understanding of how flight is posibile.So maybe one day i can master it.(Fly a real plane).

4. The Variables Independent:Amount of drag
Dependent:The distance flown by test plane
Constants :The point at where u fly paper airplanes,What unit You use to measure distance flown,Kind of paper used to make paper airplanes.

5. Hypothesizing
I hypothesis that the increased amount of drag will cause the airplane to lose flight distance.

6. Materials
Paper
A Ruler
A stick (to show where to throw the plane)
Tap

7. Procedure 1:Fold a piece of paper into a basic paper plane design
Repeat step 1 two more times.the amount of paper folded at the end of the wings should increase on each plane.this is the drag.
go to a large flat area with little to no wind to fly the airplanes
fly each plane and record data.

8. Data
Plane 0cm
Plane 1cm
plane 3cm
19Ft
12Ft
4Ft

10. Conclusion
The question I asked was does the amount of drag added to a plane cause it to fly a smaller distance.To preform this excperement i folded the back of a air plane three diferent ways to aplly the drag.I named each airplane by the the amount of centemeters of drag on that plane.At the end of the excperement i concluded that more drag equals to less distance flown.
