Drag effects paper airplane just as it affects anything else that moves. It is either parasitic or induced on paper airplanes. Drag may reduce a paper airplanes speed and/or range.

How will different styles of wings affect how far a paper airplane will fly?
Different styles of wings can affect a paper airplane's flight distance by changing factors such as lift and drag. Wings with a larger surface area or higher aspect ratio tend to generate more lift, promoting longer flights. On the other hand, wings with a more streamlined shape can reduce drag, contributing to improved aerodynamics and potentially increasing the distance the paper airplane can travel.
How does the drag affect the forward motion of the airplane?
Drag slows the forward movement of aircraft.
Does a hole affect a paper airplane?
The effect of a hole on a paper airplane would depend on the type of paper airplane the hole is on, and where it is on the aircraft.
What does drag affect paper airplanes'?
Drag affects everything that flies.
Does the type of paper used affect the distance a paper airplane will travel?
no
How does the color of the paper airplane affect the distance?
It dosn't affect the distance.
Does the width of a paper airplane affect how far it goes?
Yes
Does the wings of a paper airplane affect how far it goes?
yes
How does a paper airplane apply Newton's 3 laws?
First law: The speed of the paper airplane remains constant unless acted upon by an external force. At launch, until thrown by someone, the airplane is at rest. In the air, drag (friction) is slowing the aircraft down.Second law: The airplane's acceleration at every instant is equal to the sum of all the forces on it divided by its mass.Third law: As the paper airplane's wings generate lift, they are subject to gravity. When thrown, the airplane has thrust, but drag is also generated.
How does the type of paper airplane affect how far it goes?
the lighter the paper the easier the lift.Heavey paper will drop quicker.
Does the mass of a paper airplane affect how far it will travel?
oesyes it d
What does a construction paper airplane do to be slow?
It falls slowly because it is light, but also because the rough, flexible paper has more drag than stiffer writing paper.
