Why is it important to use a model to test objects such as an airplane?

Because they can generally test what is going to happen and fix something if it goes wrong. Imagine this: On a runway, an airplane can travel at speeds of 100-120MPH (without even taking off). If they built a full scale airplane, attempted to take off and then realised that their wings or brakes don't work, there is going to be a massive problem.

How would you use a model to test the design of a new airplane?
like 2 hours and 50 minutes
What is a place for testing model airplanes?
You test model airplanes at an airport. Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL HAHAHA How about a wind tunnel? **** It all depends on what kind of model airplane you want to test: - If you have a large, heavy R/C airplane, then you want to bring it to a local R/C club and have an experienced pilot give it a pre-flight checkover, perform a trim flight, and teach you how to fly in safe environment. - If you have a light free flight model airplane, then the best place to test it is over tall grass. That way your model can land with minimal damage while you make trim adjustments. - If you have a scale engineering prototype, then sure, a wind tunnel is the place that you want to test design parameters Under no circumstances should you fly a model airplane at an airport. Duh!!!!!! (unless, of course, you have an indoor free flight model and don't mind attracting the attention of all the other passengers plus the security guards)
How might a scientist use a model to test a new airplane design?
Engineers put very accurate models of new airplanes in wind tunnels to see how aerodynamic they are.
When did the Wright Bros test their airplane?
they first tested there first airplane in 1903. December 17, 1903.
How did the wright brothers design and test their airplane?
built it
When was th first airplane flight test?
1896yr
How did the wright brothers test their ideas before building the first airplane?
They test their ideas by using experiment.
Explain why scientists use models.give three examples of models?
A scientific model is a representation of a object or event that can be studied to understand the real object or event. A model airplane is a type of model, models represent things that are too big, too small or too complex to study easily.
What is a test in which a model is broken?
A destructive test.

What model can you use to test a prediction?
any model you want
