What happens when the flaps of a paper airplane are up?
slows the plane down
How do you make the easiest paper airplane2?
Step 1: fold paper in half then unfoldStep 2: fold top right corner and top left corner down to the middle creaseStep 3: fold paper backStep 4: on both sides of airplane, fold down the wings by folding the top of the paper down to the bottomThere's is a simple airplane. Yes it might not fly good but it's a simple airplane.
Does the wing of a paper airplane affect the speed of a paper airplane?
Yes and no. The speed of an airplane is determined by how hard you throw it. After you throw it, the plane will slow down because of drag. The more drag a plane has, the faster it will slow down. In full scale airplanes a high aspect wing (long skinny) such as a glider has a high lift and low drag. A low aspect wing( short and thicker) has more drag. Until trans-sonic speeds. In a paper airplane the Reynolds number is so low that the transition from laminar to turbulent flow happens almost immediately so airfoil shape means little here. What is important is that the Center of Gravity is in front of the Center of Lift. This is why most paper airplanes are delta shaped, and the ones that aren't are flying wing designs with a great majority of folds in the front for added weight there. So, as mentioned before, the speed of a plane is affected by how hard you throw it. What should be considered is that if the wings are small, you need to throw it harder to give it enough lift, and if the wings are long and narrow then you should throw it softer. In this regard, the wing would affect the speed of an airplane.
How does the design of a paper airplane affects it's flight?
The weight of the paper. If you accumulate a lot of paper at one place (depending on the design) it could bring the airplane down faster than if you didn't accumulate so much paper in one place.
How do you make a paper airplane do barrel rolls?
you have to turn one flap up and the other one down to get your paper airplane to do a barell roll
Does weight affect the paper airplane?
If it is too heavy, it will drop down. If it is too light, It is vulnerable to the slightest gust of wind. It is best to make it in-between(the average weight of a paper airplane)
How my group dispose toilet paper?
you can either flush it down.... or.. throw it in the bin.
What will happen if you throw a ball straight into the air?
gravity pulls it down
Does the material of a paper airplane matter?
The material of a paper airplane matters. If it is too flimsy, the plane will not be able to keep its shape and will become just another piece of paper thrown in the air. If it is too heavy for its size, it will just fall down and not fly.
What are the basic parts of a paper airplane?
Parts of Paper Airplanes:FuselageWingsNoseTail (only on some)
Why is there a sharp pain up and down your arm when you throw up?
When you throw up your nerves react and make a pain up and down your arm.It dosent always happen though.
What happen when an airplane crash in space?
airplane cannot cross the gravity.so even if it crashes then it would not come to earth because it do not have any gravity to bring it down. so it keeps flying..
