Best Answer

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.

If a rubber band have potential energy what does it have potentiel to do?

A stretched rubber band has potential energy like a spring. It has the potential to snap back. I used to build model airplanes with rubber band motors. I also had a rubber band gun that shot rubber bands. The potential energy stored in the rubber bank is what made these devices work.


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.

How can a rubber band model elastic energy?

You can treat the rubber band as a spring. Ve=1/2*k*x2Where Ve is the elastic potential energy stored in the rubber band, k is the spring constant for the rubber band (can be calculated experimentally), and x is the distance the rubber band is stretched.

How an flying model can be made?

For your first one, go to a good model store and select a cheap and simple kit, preferably rubber band powered. I say cheap, as it IS going to be wrecked, the first few always are until you learn to build carefully.
