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.
