This week I made a Venn Diagram about the first flight with The Wright Brothers and Richard Pierce. Here it is,

Bottle Rockets
Shape: The shape will help create less drag or wind resistance.

Fuel: It use's Water but it need's compressed air on top for it to actually work.

Important Features:
For a bottle rocket to work it needs things like a Nose, Fins, Water and Plastic Bottles.

Flight Aerodynamics
Aim: To look at the 4 main forces of flying and how these can be overcome.
Plane type
|
How does it behave?
|
Time ( secs)
|
Paper sheet, drop
| Went from side to side | 2.71 |
Paper with fold down middle, drop
| It fell straight down | 1.25 |
Paper with fold and 1 paper clip, drop
| It dropped then glided | 2.06 |
Fold, 2 clips, rudder, drop
| I dropped straight down | 0.90 |
Fold, 2 clips, rudder throw
| It glided and then did a flip | 1.85 |
Findings:
The fastest was the Fold, 2 clips, rudder drop and the slowest was paper sheet drop.

Flight - 1
Natural:
Bugs
Dragons
Bats
Dinosaurs
Birds
Man-Made:
Balloons
Hot Air Balloon
Jet
Aeroplane
Helicopter
Rocket
Paper Plane
Kite
Broomstick
Definition:
Lift: The air pressure is greater underneath the wing than above and the aircraft/bird flies.
Drag: The force than effects the speed of an aircraft/bird. It can slow it down.
Thrust: The forward movement of an aircraft/bird.
Gravity/ Weight: The downward force of an object when it is above the earth.
Aerofoil: The shape of the wing on aeroplanes and some birds.
Bernoulli Effect: When a wing is in the shape of an aerofoil the pressure builds up underneath it and it begins to lift up the aeroplane.
