stash a small engine into it
i is a small,light ,powered by rubber band plane
The energy transformation in a rubber band powered model airplane involves potential energy being stored in the stretched rubber band being converted to kinetic energy as the airplane flies through the air. This conversion of energy allows the rubber band to power the movement of the airplane.
Yes, it is a toy machine.
It's a flying model aircraft whose propeller is turned by an unwinding strip of rubber. Some of these planes are pretty big.
Rubber band powered model airplanes fly by converting the potential energy stored in the stretched rubber band into kinetic energy, propelling the plane forward. As the rubber band unwinds, it turns a propeller, generating thrust that pushes the airplane through the air. The wings create lift as the plane moves forward, allowing it to stay aloft.
That depends how you built your aircraft, must be experimented with.
rubber band
When you wind a rubber band on a toy airplane, the rubber band stores potential energy. This potential energy is in the form of elastic potential energy, which is released when the rubber band unwinds and powers the toy airplane.
Elastic Potential energy
Rubber powered airplanes fall into three types.The first is to use a rubber band as a sling attached to the front of the plane. When stretched and released the contracting band moves the plane forward and it soars upwards based on the aerodynamics of the wing.The second rubber band powered plane uses a twisted band attached to the propeller. the realising torsional energy as it unwinds turns the propelled and pulls the plane forward and it soars upwards based on the aerodynamics of the wing.As an alternate, a mixture of rubber powder and oxidant can be used in a rocket engine to thrust the plane forward.
The rubber band powers the airplane by releasing stored energy.The propeller provides motive force by pulling the airplane through the air.The wings provide lift, to enable the airplane to rise into the air and then glide back to the ground.The horizontal stabilizer (in the tail) keeps the airplane level as it moves through the air.The vertical stabilizer (on the tail) keeps the aircraft flying perpendicularly to the wing and horizontal stabilizer (in the direction of its frame axis, not necessarily in a straight path).The 6th part is the frame connecting these 5 parts, which also anchors one end of the rubber band.
The energy in a wound up rubber band in a toy airplane is potential energy. This potential energy is stored in the rubber band as it is stretched and can be released when the rubber band is allowed to return to its original position, converting the potential energy into kinetic energy that propels the toy airplane forward.
