Will the nose of a paper airplane affect flight?

Not so much the shape of the nose that affects the flight of a paper plane, but the weight. If the weight of the plane isn't distributed properly the angle of attack is too small or to large making the plane nose dive or stall. Make sure there is weight in the center of gravity of your model.


What plane flys farther a rounded or pionted nose plane?

Pointed definately. It's more aerodynamic


How does nose weight help a plane fly?

Nose weight often helps to bring the wings into flying attitude.


Why do you need to put a weight on the nose of the rocket?

Because you can move the center of the gravity farther.


What happens when a plane nose-dives?

When a plane nose-dives, the nose of the plane turns downward and the plane descends nose first toward the ground.


What happens when a plane nose dive?

When a plane nose-dives, the nose of the plane turns downward and the plane descends nose first toward the ground.


What is a situation when scientific method can be apply?

Try to see if a paper airplane will fly farther with 5 paperclips on the nose as opposed to 0,1,or 3. Question: Will the # of paperclips on the nose of a paper airplane cause the plane to fly farther? Hypothesis: 5 paperclips on the nose of a paper airplane will make he plane fly farther than with 3,1,or 0 paperclips on the nose. Experiment: Make paper airplanes and fly them with 0 paperclips on the nose. Repeat this test 3 times. Record about how many meters each test flew. Repeat this with 1 paper clip, than 3 paperclips, and finally 5 paperclips. Analyse: Record the average of the 3 tests. write down the steps you took in completing the experiment. Also write down the controlled, dependent, and independent variables of the experiment. Conclusion: 5 paperclips on the nose of the paper airplane will make the plane fly farther than with 0,1,or 3 paperclips on the nose. Compare: Compare the averages, variables, and steps taken along with any other data, to that of other scientists. Remember, a valid experiment can be repeated with duplicated results.


How does weight placement affect flight?

The answer is no. A plane can fly many distances no matter what the weight is, unless it is too heavy, then it won't touch from the ground. The amount of fuel however does affect its distance. The more fuel you have the further a plane can go. However, if the plane is heavy it requires more fuel compared to a plane that is lighter going to the same destination.


What are the functions of a airliner planes parts?

Basically, Wings provide lift to fly Elevators make the plane point(fly) up and down. Ailerons make the plane bank. The rudder turns the nose of the plane.


What is the best to use when loading a trailer to have it make weight?

Make it heavier in the nose and tail


Why does a plane have a nose?

it's called areodynamics. When you throw it, the nose evens out the air on the top and bottom of the plane.


Why does an airplane have to have a pointy nose?

To fight off air resistance and go faster. If the airplane had a flat nose, (like your palm) the air resistance would affect the nose and make the plane slower, while a pointy nose allows the air resistance to pass by therefore making the plane go faster.
