Why do airplanes need wings?
airplanes need wings so they can glide and land correctly
Do paper airplanes fly better with short wings?
Yes, paper planes need wings to fly, if they were to be accurate to a real plane, since real planes have wings, so paper planes need wings, too. The wings provide lift for the paper plane, causing it to fly when thrown properly. No wings means it is just an ordinary folded piece of paper that you are trying to throw.
How do you make a paper airplane go up then down?
A paper airplane can be rolled using the surfaces used on real aircraft. Ailerons, elevons, spoilerons or differential deflection of horizontal stabilizers (which, in most semi-tailless paper airplanes is essentially the same as elevons).
Can airplane fly without an air?
No. Airplanes need the flow of air over the wings in order to produce lift.
Can a airplane fly without wings?
No, airplanes need wings for lift. - Now having said that, aircraft can fly without wings, as they include helicopters, dirigibles and balloons which have alternate ways of gaining lift.
How can I make a paper tube airplane?
To make a paper tube airplane, you will need a paper tube, paper for wings, a propeller, and glue. Cut the paper tube to the desired length for the body of the airplane. Attach the paper wings to the tube, and add a propeller to the front. Decorate as desired.
Why do I see paper airplanes flying across the room even though they are not there What does that mean?
It means you need to stop day dreaming and do something creative. Or, you need to make a paper airplane.
Why do rockets need wings?
because without the wings the plane would be unstable and crash. by:jake tompson
Can airplanes fly into space?
No. Airplanes cannot fly into space. They need air to hold them up. That's the purpose of the wings on both sides. They also need oxygen to burn their fuel. The airplane can't go anyplace where the air isn't thick enough to support the wings or where it lacks enough oxygen for the fuel. In space, there's no air at all.
How do you make a airplane?
You will need 1 paper and fold it hotdog then do to flaps then seal it then make wings!!
Why do airplanes fly straight?
Airplanes need to fly forward in order to stay in the air. They need air passing over the wings in order to stay in flight. Without air passing over the wing, bernoulli's principle can't take effect and the airplane would fall.
Why does a heavier paper airplane fly further than a lighter paper airplane?
The answer to this question is a matter of some fairly simple physics which I will try to explain to you. First, you need to understand that most paper airplanes are not really airplanes. Airplanes fly because the shape of the wing produces lift; paper airplanes mostly fly as projectiles, meaning that they fly because you throw them. The first reason that the lighter airplane might not fly as far is in the design. Typically, the lighter paper airplane will have larger wings, and therefore, more drag. Since it is virtually impossible to make the paper airplane perfectly symmetrical, one of the wings has more drag which causes the airplane to spin and crash short of its maximum possible distance. The second reason is also related to the design. If you have a light airplane with more drag and a heavy airplane with less drag, the heavy airplane can fly much more easily. This is because the heavier airplane has less drag as well as more momentum to "push" through the air. On this note, a piece of paper crumpled into a ball will fly further than most paper airplanes I have seen just because is has lots of mass for the level of drag it induces. The crumpled piece of paper also will probably fly much straighter that the paper airplane too, just because it is fairly uniform in shape. At this point, we are completely ignoring lift; but at such a small scale with such light material, it works better that way due to the reasons above. Of course, if you put engines and control surfaces on the paper structure, you change the game entirely. Now it has to fly with lift instead of as a projectile otherwise it will crash because it has no control. This explains why real airplanes are not just big balls of metal.
