Aircraft Design
by Ajay Pacharne
Students will use the engineering design process to design, build, and test three different paper airplane designs. The goal will be to create one that can fly the fastest, one that can fly the farthest, and one that can fly the longest amount of time.Students will build their airplanes, take notes of their observations and collect data, and write a conclusion of their research.
