Planes
Flight Path
Direction of wind/air resistance
Flight Balance
Alignment of wings
Shape of plane
Shape of wings
Penetration Through Air
Shape of plane body
Shape of wings
Air travelling over all 3 different types of wings
Mass
Direction of wind
If flying into the wind the plane is too light to travel forward
Mass
Combined mass of body + wings + balancing weight
Larger wing mass increases stability and glide length
Smaller mass decreases stability
The smaller mass' flight path will be more likely to be dictated by wind and air
Balance of Mass
Wings must be in the centre of the body to ensure a stable flight path
Wings must be as level as possible
Centre of mass must be in the middle of wings
Glide
Glide is dependant on a large variety of factors:
Wind
Air types:
Fesh air
Inside, airconditioning
Wing type:
200mm x 50 mm
250mm x 60mm
250mm x 30mm
Weight
