Which Paper Airplane Flies the Farthest?

Grade:

PreK

Teacher:

Mendesha Turner

We designed, built and tested paper airplanes, iterating on each model to improve flight distance and answer the question "What makes a paper airplane fly farther?" We tested each design 10 times and measured the flight distance. Weighting the center of the airplane provided additional stability and allowed for further flight distance. Additional testing of more designs is needed to maximize flight distance and aerodynamics.
