If you are making a rubber band powered plane what rubber band would you buy?

I would prefer not to buy any rubber bands but to make a rubber motor from strip. It would be possible to knot together a number of small bands but the flight results would probably not be very good. This strip material is generally available from model airplane "cottage industry" type sources and comes in widths from 1/8 to 1/4 inch with a nominal thickness of 1/32 inch and lengths up to 50 feet. It is characterized by extreme elasticity and low energy loss which allows many turns (twists) to be applied without breakage. Typically, a loop of 1/8 inch rubber will satisfactorily fly a model airplane weighing up to one ounce and having a wing span of 16 to 20 inches. Unwound, the loop should be around 1 1/2 times as long as the distance between attachment points with the propeller in place.

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.

What sound does a jet-powered airplane make?
It would be very difficult to put the sound down in words. Please see the related link below to listen to the sound of a jet powered plane..
What did Orville and Wilbur Wright invent?
They were the first to produce powered flight that was able to carry a human. They are often credited with the invention of powered flight but this was invented by John Stringfellow of Chard, Somerset, England, who produced a steam powered, heavier-than-air plane (yes - steam powered!) a prototype of which he flew for the public at Crystal Palace, London in 1868. The Wright brothers produced the first plane able to carry a human making their first flight on 17th December 1903, 25 years later than Stringfellow. They were also the first to make the controls for a plane that would make such a flight possible. Their initial flight was shorter than the current wingspan of a Jumbo Jet Boeing 747.
How is a television powered?
a television is powered by electricity and the electricity comes through cables that plug into a socket. or if you wanted to be adventurous you could try making a hamster run in is wheel and then use that to generate your electriciy. that would be more economical but you would spent more money on feeding you hampster and it would be less reliable
Did the wright brothers plane fly?
Yes, the Wright brothers plane did fly. They are credited for the invitation of the airplane. They started by making a glider that would fly which lead to the airplanes we know of today.
How did the Wright Brothers plane change the world?
They were the first pioneers. if they had not tried making the plane air travel would be no where near as where it is today. They inspired the idea and built the first flying aircraft.
How do you chlorinate rubber?
In order to chlorinate rubber, one would need to expose the latex rubber to chlorine gas in aqueous. This would cause a chemical reaction in which the rubber would become chlorinated.
What would happen if you put chemicals on rubber?
There are lots of different chemicals. Some chemicals would have no effect on rubber, some chemicals would destroy rubber, and some chemicals would have various other effects on rubber.
What happens when you mix glass and rubber?
nothing happens because the glass would not get through the rubber ( some rubber would pass) it depends what kind of rubber you use
Ride a plane or ride in a plane?
ride in a plane. you would fly a plane
What would you do if there were snakes on the plane you were on while you were on vacation?
I would jump out of the plane with a parachute or pull out my pocket knife and kill them, or i would take over the plane and land the plane the and RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
