Recommended: Paper airplanes physics

Max and I have been assigned to do a flight school project. Max wanted a plane that can go very far. I wanted a plane that can fly for a long time so I made a basic paper airplane. The first test was great. Max’s airplane went 108 ft but, his plane had 4 bobby pins on the tip of his plane. My plane didn’t go very far but it flew for 9.75 seconds which was pretty amazing but it wouldn’t have went that well if it weren’t for the wind. I didn’t write it on the data because Max’s plane had attachments and I used the wind to make my plane fly for a long time. Second flight test we did it, it didn’t go so well. The weather was perfect, there wasn’t any wind at that time. However, Max’s plane without attachments was a failure. Everytime he threw

    Flying alongside the clouds at high altitudes; to hear nothing except the thoughts in my head and to go to far away destinations on a weekend is just some of the reasons I enjoy flying. I start out early in the morning heading out to the local airport. At that time in the morning, I can feel the chill in the air. It is so quiet at the beginning of dawn. I know when I am close to the airport; I can smell the aviation fuel burning from the aircraft on the runway. Once I arrive, I head straight to the aircraft hangar where I left my aircraft the previous day. Next, I would walk around the aircraft to do a visual inspection of any damage to the aircraft that may have been done on a previous flight. If there is some minor damage, I log it in my flight log. Once I am done with the preliminary outside inspections, I move inside the flight cabin where I set the instruments for the day’s flight. Once the instruments are set, I crack my window slightly and yell, “CLEAR.” I turn the key to the right; the propeller starts to turn with a clank, clank sound; suddenly the engine comes to life. WOW, what a feeling that is to hear the engine comes to life. I place my headset on my head and say, “Clermont, WNS77 with radio check, Clermont.” The tower replies with, “Clermont, WNS77 radio check, load and clear, Clermont.” The thrill of flying has always had a place in my heart and being a part of the Experimental Aviation Association, also known as EAA, has help me feel closer to my desires of flying with the heavenly bodies. The main goal of the Experimental Aircraft Association is to bring individuals, like myself, together and share in the joy of all parts of aviation. This can include homebuilt aircraft, exploring new technology in the field of...

    As a conclusion, I hope these previous paragraphs have given you the knowledge that everyone dealing with physics or airplanes should possess. These factors may not show all that physics has to contribute in the flight of an aircraft but they do show the major contributions. After reading these paragraphs, you should now have greater respect for physics, not just in airplanes, but in the world, because it is all around you and nothing can exist or work without it.

  • Physics of Paper Airplanes

    Paper Airplanes, flight at its simplest for humans. As kids, we learned how to build paper airplanes and send them soaring into the sky. We didn't stop to think about why the airplanes where able to fly after the initial thrust we gave them or how they were able to glide for so long afterwards. Ignorance was bliss then, but now we strive to understand how things work. Looking back to the childhood past time of flying paper airplanes, I will try to explain some of the parts that make paper airplanes fly.

    Since the wright brothers first plane to the B-52 long ranger bomber aircraft have changed the world and are still going to do so. With the emergence of planes as are preferred form of travel many things have happened. One of the most important things is the ease of foreign uncertainty and war. Much of the fear and uncertainty of foreign powers can be solved by flying there within the day to have a sit down with that country’s leader. While the last century has given birth to horrific weapons based in aircraft and the advancements from the introduction of aircraft warfare will never be fought the same way again. While on of the most significant social advances is to be able fly across the country in a day and see someone else’s culture and way of life this has generally led to social acceptance and the vast civil rights movements of the 20th century.

  • The Physics of Flight

    1566 Words  | 4 Pages

    The trials and tribulations of flight have had their ups and downs over the course of history. From the many who failed to the few that conquered; the thought of flight has always astonished us all. The Wright brothers were the first to sustain flight and therefore are credited with the invention of the airplane. John Allen who wrote Aerodynamics: The Science of Air in Motion says, “The Wright Brothers were the supreme example of their time of men gifted with practical skill, theoretical knowledge and insight” (6). As we all know, the airplane has had thousands of designs since then, but for the most part the physics of flight has remained the same. As you can see, the failures that occurred while trying to fly only prove that flight is truly remarkable.

    Airplane decent and landing accidents have been statistically proven to be one of the most common forms of airplane incidents. Ultimately accounting for about 37% airplane accidents, there are several different stages of the decent and landing process and several mechanical issues as well as a lack of focus on the part of the pilot can contribute to a faulty landing, ultimately resulting in a minor or fatal crash (Tullo, 2001).

    Choice and Reasons for Topic My choice is the influence of aviation on Singaporean Students, namely those in Secondary Schools, Polytechnics and Junior Colleges, and the impact on them. My project would look at the positive and negative social impacts on students who are flying and those who plan on doing so. Supporting the relevance of my choice of topic is Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, 2011 who says that we must “.ignite new passion for aviation among our youth and develop them.” Furthermore, the existence of the Singapore Youth Flying Club, where Singaporean youths are receiving government sponsored flying trainings shows that government is already pushing aviation to the youths.
