Study Notes
- The team at Bristol office has been investigating the science behind making a perfect paper plane.
- A paper plane flies by generating lift, deflected air creates an equal and opposite force pushing up.
- The dart design tends to nosedive due to its center of gravity being around the middle.
- To keep the angle of attack for longer and generate more lift, the team refined the design by folding the nose back and shifting the center of gravity.
- The problem of a paper plane rolling can be solved by increasing the dihedral angle and pushing the wings up, which increases stability.
- The team has found success with the mark 3 design, but encourages viewers to tweet their own designs.
- In future videos, viewers can learn how to make a hot air balloon and explore things going down.
