= The Airplane Design Challenge =

// Design an airplane that returns the best results when tested for accuracy, distance and time aloft. //

**Results**
//To calculate the average of each category, add each trial and divide the sum by 3.//
 * || ** Accuracy ** || ** Distance ** || ** Time Aloft ** ||
 * **Trial #1** || 0% || 4ft.8" || .75 sec. ||
 * **Trial #2** || 0% || 2ft.11" || .90 sec. ||
 * **Trial #3** || 0% || 7ft.2" || 1.59 sec. ||
 * ** Total ** || 0% || 14ft.10" || 3.24 sec. ||
 * ** Average ** || 0% || 4ft.11" || 1.08 sec. ||

**Results**
//To calculate the average of each category, add each trial and divide the sum by 3.//
 * || ** Accuracy ** || ** Distance ** || ** Time Aloft ** ||
 * **Trial #1** || 100% || 8ft.10" || 2.12 sec. ||
 * **Trial #2** || 50% || 10ft.10" || 1.78 sec. ||
 * **Trial #3** || 50% || 13ft.3" || 1.60 sec. ||
 * ** Total ** || 200% || 32ft.11" || 5.5 sec. ||
 * ** Average ** || 66.666% || 10ft. || 1.8333 sec. ||

 * **Did you get any good ideas from the groups you were watching?Yes because they put a paper clip on the tip of there airplanes to make it equally heavy and so it wouldn't dive.**
 * **What techniques can you borrow?Our group could make our airplane more simple and smaller.**
 * **What do the results of the different planes suggest about their designs?The designs that my group saw looked a little heavy witch caused there accuracy to be 0%.**
 * **//Hypothesize//: What specific design elements might make a difference when testing for accuracy, distance and time aloft? Why?One specific design element that will make a difference in accuracy, distance and time should be to work on making it small and light. We could do that by not folding it that much to make it light.**
