My flight test summary

Hey Guys
Welcome back to another blog post and today I will be showing you the summary I did on flight.

An airplane uses the forces of aerodynamics to either lift it up off the ground or speed up in the air. Airplanes and birds use the same type of infrastructure to fly but the only difference is that birds use muscles to fly and a plane uses its engine. A bird and a plane both have wings and those wings allow the plane and bird to leave the ground but since a bird is so light and a plane is very heavy they take off different ways. A bird can just flap its wings and it will take off but a plane has to get a big run-up. 

 This is because of the aerodynamics of the bird/plane, The plane has wings that can't move so it has to hook the wind under its wings to fly and the bird can flap its wings and since they are so light and they can hold their own weight they hook the wind under their wings a lot easier. So if a plane or bird is in mid-air they need to different amounts of thrust drag and lift or else they will just hover mid-air like a helicopter Drag is a force that is hitting the nose and pulling it backward, the thrust is the thing that propels it forward, the lift is what pushes it off the ground and the weight is what will pull it down so it does not go to space.

 One of the questions we had to answer is why does a paper plane glide when it is dropped and then weight goes straight to the ground. This is because of a paper plane has wings that can hook the wind underneath it and weight does not. It is also kind because of the weight of it, just the force pulling it down to the ground.

Flight test results

Hey Guys
Welcome back to another blog post and today I am going to be showing you my flight results for my different paper planes. I figured out that my best plane was an a4 piece of paper and this video is the one I used to make my plane. As you can see on the table below the bigger planes did not do as well as the a4 and neither did the smaller planes.

Planes that I am testing	Plane 1 a4 After some test flights	Plane 2 a3 Same plane but bigger	Plane 3 a4 The brand new plane just made	Plane 4 a5 Smaller did not fly very well	Plane 5 a2 A lot bigger	Plane 6 a4 bigger wingspan
Throw 1	15m	10m	32m	5m	14m	18m
Throw 2	15m	15m	20m	7m	17m	16m
Throw 3	16m	12m	24m	13m	12m	20m
Throw 4	20m	17m	14m	8m	7m	17m
average	16.5m	13.5m	22.5m	8.25m	12.5m	16.5m

Capillary action

Hey Guys
Welcome back to another blog post and today I will be telling you about capillary action and some plant biology. Capillary action in water includes water moving up a straw or glass tube, moving through a paper or cloth towel, moving through a plant, and tears moving through tear ducts.

Capillary action is important for moving water around. It is the movement of water in and out of your cellular structure that deposits vitamins, nutrients, and vital blood plasma. Without this flow, your body's cells would not rehydrate and vital communication between your brain and body would slow down.

Cohesion is what causes the water drops on a plant to go into a certain formation and adhesion is the thing that lets the water drops stick to the plant. Without adhesion, the water drops would just drop off the plant. AN example of cohesion in human form is when you go rock climbing and you put chalk on your hands to help you stick more to the rocks than you would without it

An Aurora

Hey Guys
Welcome back to another blog post and today I am going to be showing you my aurora art piece I made and I will be telling you a little bit about auroras. An aurora is a natural light display that shimmers in the sky. Colorful blue, red, yellow, green, and orange lights shift gently and change shape like softly blowing curtains. Auroras are only visible at night, and usually, only appear in lower polar regions like the North pole and the South pole.
