A rubber band is attached to any fixed surface of the car and then the other end is attached to the rear axle of the car. You wind the car up by turning the back tires but be sure and keep the tires from free spinning until you are ready for the car to go. When you let it go, the rubber band that has been stretched will unwind from the axle and force the cars tires to turn thus pushing the car forward.

Why is rubber-band made of rubber?
A rubber-band is made out of rubber because rubber will make it hold things nice and tight.
How many rubber bands were in the longest rubber band chain?
thousands
Is rubber band waterproof?
Rubber bands typically are not damaged by water.
What is the ultimate tensile stress of a rubber band?
You must hang weights from a rubberband until it snaps;then divide the total weight by twice the cross-sectional area of the rubber band. ThisÊwill be the Êtensile load of the rubber band.
What does the rubber band on the orange represent?
The rubber bands represent the info in the galaxy.
What is a rubber powered engine airplane?
i is a small,light ,powered by rubber band plane
How do you make a rubber powered airplane fly?
Rubber powered airplanes fall into three types.The first is to use a rubber band as a sling attached to the front of the plane. When stretched and released the contracting band moves the plane forward and it soars upwards based on the aerodynamics of the wing.The second rubber band powered plane uses a twisted band attached to the propeller. the realising torsional energy as it unwinds turns the propelled and pulls the plane forward and it soars upwards based on the aerodynamics of the wing.As an alternate, a mixture of rubber powder and oxidant can be used in a rocket engine to thrust the plane forward.
What are rubber powered aeroplanes?
A rubber powered plane is one that uses a rubber band to store power. The band is attached to the propeller at one end and anchored at the the other. The prop is then turned in the opposite direction to normal rotation. The band twists and knots up. When the prop is released, the stored power in the twisted band untwists, spinning the prop and providing power for flight. Usually in toy aircraft, but could be scaled up to full size, probably.
Is a rubber band powered airplane a machine?
Yes, it is a toy machine.
What is a rubber-powered airplane?
It's a flying model aircraft whose propeller is turned by an unwinding strip of rubber. Some of these planes are pretty big.
How can you fly a rubber band powered airplane in still air?
stash a small engine into it
What are the variables you can change that will affect the flight of the rubber-engine plane?
1)Rubber Band Size2)Take-off Height3)Airplane Weight4)Shape of the plane
What are four variables can change that will affect the flight of the rubber-engine plane?
1)The rubber band size 2)Shape of the plane 3)Weight of the plane 4)Height where it is taken off
How do rubber band powered model airplanes fly in the air?
The rubber band would turn and cause the propeller to move. When you launch it, it will cause the propeller to turn, causing the airplane to fly.

1)Rubber Band Size2)Take-off Height3)Airplane Weight4)Shape of the plane
The wright brothers became interested in flying when their father gave them what?
A rubber band-powered toy helicopter.
What proportion should the rear wing be to the front on a rubber band powered airplane?
That depends how you built your aircraft, must be experimented with.
