Howard Hughes built one from birch called the "Spruce Goose". That's not what you asked but just sayin'. If you could find the weight ratio of balsa vs birch you could make some assumptions.
A balsa wood airplane is generally capable of flying the farthest due to its lightweight and sturdy construction. Foam airplanes can also achieve good distances depending on their design and materials used. Cardboard and corrugated plastic airplanes may not be able to fly as far due to their heavier weights and less aerodynamic shapes.
No, an airplane requires both wings to provide lift and stability. Additionally, the propeller is powered by the engine, which would likely be on the missing wing. Without both wings and the engine, the airplane would not be able to maintain controlled flight.
No. A fly hovering above you doesn't make you feel heavier does it? Although you probably would'NT feel it anyway.
This question is debatable. Lined paper is lighter, but that doesn't mean it flies better. I think that it's all about how you fold it and which design you choose. If one WA yto do an experiment, I would predict that lined paper would fly a little father, but not by much.
yes. something made of wood can fly. for example, the wright brothers flew an airplane made of wood. it was the first object ever to fly.
it depends on if you are talking about a model that would just be for decoration, or an airplane that is a model or a real plane that is intended to fly, if it is meant to fly, then you can use anything strong and light really, and if it would just sit there, use anything you want. - - - - - Model airplanes are usually made from balsa. Full-size wooden airplanes are made from aircraft spruce.

it was first made to fly
So People Could Fly In The Air
Generally, Balsa or Basswood would be used.Occasionally, Obeche is used, though it is much harder to find.ANS 2 If your aircraft is going to fly it would have to be made of balsa and tissue covered. All other woods are too heavy for flying models.
Can you fly on airplane with pericarditis
Yes, Yes it would
because they both fly
It wouldn't. It would crash.
Yes. Even in quite modern times, jet fighters were made from plywood!! To have a good strength-to-weight ratio. And of course there was the giant 'Spruce Goose'. (Actually it was made of birch I'm informed, but who's counting). It was built of wood because of a wartime shortage of aluminum. This was built by the Howard Hughes company, and may have only flown the once. It still exists as a museum exhibit.
The Wright brothers made their first airplane fly by building it from light spruce wood frames covered with a light fabric called muslin. Their engine was also quite small.
about 12 seconds, if the paper airplane can fly it would stay up longer
