The main reason we did this experiment is to learn about aerodynamics. This is a big deal for this experiment for the paper airplane for without aerodynamics the paper airplane wouldent fly very far. We are also doing this experiment due to the fact that we needed to learn measurments. Since we have to also learn about data analysis, we had to create a graph about how far the planes went.

 

After analysing the data, It is clear that George's and Sarah's airplane were poorly designed. While looking at both of them it's not hard to tell why they Failed to get more than 20 feet. However for the rest of the planes they look well designed and have some sort of aerodynamics converted into the airplanes.

 

This experiment could have been better in a few departments. Firstly, there could have been much more varients of airplanes. With more airplanes they could've gotten more data from the experiment. Secondly, they could have used how hard the paper airplane was thrown. This could have showed us why they might have gone farther or shorter distances. Lastly, They could have had more flights. Like the first problem this could have added a lot more data which can mean even better results.

 

If I were to create an airplane, I would probably use an airplane like Michael's or Eric's. Both of those airplanes seem to be very aerodynamic. They also look pretty cool and have the second and third highest scores.
