Post a summary of your glider design testing results to this discussion forum, and engage in a discussion with your instructor and classmates in both analyzing and comparing the results, and in reflecting on your learning experiences during the project.

8 – Paper Airplane Project Part 3 – Wrap-Up Discussion

In Part 3 of the project, you will post a summary of your glider design testing results to this discussion forum, and engage in a discussion with your instructor and classmates in both analyzing and comparing the results, and in reflecting on your learning experiences during the project.

From the results submitted, the best-performing glider designs will be recognized as the most likely to succeed in the mock glider competition.

Create a summary of your design testing results, to include:

• the name of each of the team’s chosen glider designs
• a reference (URL) that contains an image of each glider and the instructions for building it a hypothesis for each design that incorporates predictions for how each of the four main forces that
• act on aircraft will affect the motion of the glider in allowing it to achieve its objective (distance or duration)
• a specific description for how thrust should be imparted to each glider design to maximize its desired performance (distance or duration)
• the best average flight time achieved by a distance design test plane
• the best average flight time achieved by a duration design test plane
• a summary of the specific design features and external factors that likely influenced the performance of the test planes for each design

(Note: A-D were completed in Part 1 of the project; E-G will come from your glider design testing worksheet Results and Conclusions section)
