My problem is what type of aerodynamics or plane type will work better in strong winds.

My hypothesis is that the plane with the best type of aerodynamics and weight will work best. My guess is that it will probably be the Space Shuttle

1.)Research different types of aerodynamics

2.)Fill out first part of the report3.)Gather all materials4.)Build planes5.)Test the planes 6.)Record results7.)Finish Report8.)Start and finish slideshow9.)Upload to Wikispaces10.) (Optional) Start and finish

Delta Fighter-The plane flew straight for 1 second then flew of course to the right. The end result was bad.Delta Fighter L.A.-It stayed straight on course and almost hit the fan but at the last minute it took the wind and rode above the fan for another second or two. Space Shuttle-The space shuttle was the worst. It didn’t get remotely close to the wind or fan before it turned out of course.Bally Button Glider-It was pretty good. It stayed on course and took the wind toward the right.Delta Dart-The plane somehow spiraled straight and hit the fan. It was bad.Phat Glider-The Phat Glider was probably the best because like the Delta Fighter L.A. it took the wind and rode it upward and continued to ride it upward onto a shelf.

Airplane Hang Time Weight Size Resistance

Delta F. 2 seconds 1 oz. Small Bad

Delta F.L.A 3 seconds 1 oz. Long Good

Space S. 3 seconds 1 oz. Small Bad

B.B. Glider 4 seconds 1 oz. Medium Good

Delta Dart 2 seconds 1 oz. Long Bad

Phat G. 5 seconds 1 oz. Large Good

My hypothesis was wrong. I thought that the space shuttle would be the best because it was made and deigned for high winds but I was wrong. It turns out the Space shuttle works better just flying straight with calm wind not hard blowing winds.

I thank Mrs. Riffel first off for the time to work on my project and showing me Wikispaces. Thank you!!!

I also thank the boys who flew the planes Zane, Jayde, Dallas, Gus, and Alex. Thanks guys!
