Research: Airplanes are an efficient way of traveling to far places. Airplanes are amazing if you know what and how the air keeps the plane airborne. There are three components of flight: aerodynamics, the Bernoulli principal and supersonic flight. Some other things about flight are the four forces, lift, drag, weight, and thrust. One of the basic things you need to know about airplanes is that the places where the plane can balance on one …showed first 75 words of 834 total…

The paper airplane has to be aerodynamically shaped so it can fly well. The paper airplane also has a Reynolds number, which was created by Daniel Bernoulli. The equation for paper airplane is 9340*10*.4 =37,000. Of course the project airplane will not be traveling at supersonic speeds but it would have the same concept of cutting through the air.
