- Q– What are the four forces of flight? How did they impact your paper glider Thrust, lift, drag, gravity? A- The paper clip made the plane have a lot of drag. And the lightness of the glider made it have a lot less gravity. The lift was also good due to how light the glider was.
- Q– Give a shot summary of what the glider adjustments did to impact the flight of the glider? A-Well the first thing that happened was that it kept on spinning around in circles and then would come back to me. Then when I turned the flaps the other way they did the same thing just it ended upside down. Then I did one flap down and one up the glider went straight for a long distant doing spirals. Then I switch around and it did the same thing.
- Q– Explain the theory of lift that we discussed in class last week. A– If the plane’s wings aren’t curved in angle of attack then it will basically have no lift. And when you think of high pressure it turns out it actually is slow moving air. Same with low pressure air. It has fast moving air.
