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 does the aerodynamic design affect what makes paper airplanes fly?

The aerodynamic design of a paper airplane affects its ability to generate lift and reduce drag, which are essential for flight. Factors such as wing shape, size, and angle of attack impact how air flows around the airplane, allowing it to stay airborne and travel further. By optimizing these design elements, a paper airplane can achieve better flight performance.


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.

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.


How do paper airplanes work and what factors affect their flight performance?

Paper airplanes work by utilizing the principles of aerodynamics. When thrown, the wings of the paper airplane create lift, which allows it to stay in the air. Factors that affect a paper airplane's flight performance include the design of the airplane, the weight distribution, the shape of the wings, and the force of the throw.
