My project is about testing different paper airplane designs to see which one flies the farthest and stays in the air the longest. I chose this project because I like airplanes and wanted to learn more about how they fly. My results showed that the modern jet style airplane flew the farthest and stayed in the air the longest. This project is important because it helps show how airplane design and aerodynamics affect how well something can fly.

Nice results. I wish I could have seen the designs of all of the planes. Are you going to continue researching types of planes and how effected by weight?
