How would you redesign your paper airplane to make it fly faster?

You can get a plane to fly faster (for a given force applied) by decreasing drag, e.g. reducing the width of the fuselage or wings (the latter also reduces lift). If you add weight to a paper plane, especially at the nose, you can get it to fly faster for a given acceleration (i.e. the throwing motion) -- the additional weight will increase the speed gained as gravity drags the plane down, because the air resistance is a function of the area, not the weight. A metal plane will fall faster (and with a higher terminal velocity) than a paper one if they have the same resistance area.


How do paperclips affect the distance of a paper airplane fly?

Attaching paperclips to a paper airplane can help increase its weight and therefore its momentum, potentially allowing it to fly further through improved stability and aerodynamics. However, too many paperclips can also hinder its flight by adding excessive weight and disrupting the balance of the plane.


Can the length of a paper airplanes wingspan make it fly frther?

Yes, the length of a paper airplane's wingspan can affect how far it can fly. A longer wingspan can provide more lift, allowing the plane to stay in the air longer and potentially travel further. However, other factors such as weight distribution and design also play a role in determining how far a paper airplane can fly.


A novice pilot sets a plane's controls thinking the plane will fly at 2.5 X 102 kmh to the north if the wind blows at 75 kmh toward the southeast what is the plane's resultant velocity?

The wind is blowing at a vector of 225 degrees with a magnitude of 75. The original heading is on a vector of zero with a magnitude of 2500. The resultant vector is then 15 degrees east of north at 203.98 kmh.

How can I make an electric paper plane that can fly longer distances?

To make an electric paper plane that can fly longer distances, you can try adding a lightweight electric motor and a small battery to power it. You can also experiment with different wing designs and adjust the balance of the plane to improve its aerodynamics and stability. Additionally, using lightweight materials and ensuring proper assembly can help increase the plane's flight distance.
