Airplanes Facts
paper airplanes information?
facts on air planes and how they work.
A paper airplane got to have wings that are slightly curved (convex) on the surface facing upwards and straight at the surface facing downwards, so that when chucked , the air flowing over the wing is faster than at the bottom.This creates a lift (because of low pressure above the wing – see Bernoulli’s theorem for the science and the math).
The airplane that you and i fly in has engines to generate thrust to move forward, and the wings to create the lift in the manner described above.
In a paper airplane, you provide the initial thrust when you chuck it.
Obviously various factors determine how high your airplane can fly including weight, wing span, air friction on the paper, shape of the plane,speed and angle to horizontal at which you chuck the plane, wind speed etc.
