Does a hole affect a paper airplane?
The effect of a hole on a paper airplane would depend on the type of paper airplane the hole is on, and where it is on the aircraft.
What does drag affect paper airplanes'?
Drag affects everything that flies.
Does the type of paper used affect the distance a paper airplane will travel?
no
How does the color of the paper airplane affect the distance?
It dosn't affect the distance.
How does the aerodynamic design affect what makes paper airplanes fly?
The aerodynamic design of a paper airplane affects its ability to generate lift and reduce drag, which are essential for flight. Factors such as wing shape, size, and angle of attack impact how air flows around the airplane, allowing it to stay airborne and travel further. By optimizing these design elements, a paper airplane can achieve better flight performance.
Does the width of a paper airplane affect how far it goes?
Yes
Does the wings of a paper airplane affect how far it goes?
yes
How does a paper airplane apply Newton's 3 laws?
First law: The speed of the paper airplane remains constant unless acted upon by an external force. At launch, until thrown by someone, the airplane is at rest. In the air, drag (friction) is slowing the aircraft down.Second law: The airplane's acceleration at every instant is equal to the sum of all the forces on it divided by its mass.Third law: As the paper airplane's wings generate lift, they are subject to gravity. When thrown, the airplane has thrust, but drag is also generated.
How does the type of paper airplane affect how far it goes?
the lighter the paper the easier the lift.Heavey paper will drop quicker.
What does a construction paper airplane do to be slow?
It falls slowly because it is light, but also because the rough, flexible paper has more drag than stiffer writing paper.

Why does a heavier paper airplane fly further than a lighter paper airplane?
The answer to this question is a matter of some fairly simple physics which I will try to explain to you. First, you need to understand that most paper airplanes are not really airplanes. Airplanes fly because the shape of the wing produces lift; paper airplanes mostly fly as projectiles, meaning that they fly because you throw them. The first reason that the lighter airplane might not fly as far is in the design. Typically, the lighter paper airplane will have larger wings, and therefore, more drag. Since it is virtually impossible to make the paper airplane perfectly symmetrical, one of the wings has more drag which causes the airplane to spin and crash short of its maximum possible distance. The second reason is also related to the design. If you have a light airplane with more drag and a heavy airplane with less drag, the heavy airplane can fly much more easily. This is because the heavier airplane has less drag as well as more momentum to "push" through the air. On this note, a piece of paper crumpled into a ball will fly further than most paper airplanes I have seen just because is has lots of mass for the level of drag it induces. The crumpled piece of paper also will probably fly much straighter that the paper airplane too, just because it is fairly uniform in shape. At this point, we are completely ignoring lift; but at such a small scale with such light material, it works better that way due to the reasons above. Of course, if you put engines and control surfaces on the paper structure, you change the game entirely. Now it has to fly with lift instead of as a projectile otherwise it will crash because it has no control. This explains why real airplanes are not just big balls of metal.
