Terabytes





= The Airplane Design Challenge  =

// Design an airplane that returns the best results when tested for accuracy, distance and time aloft. // ==Terabytes **:** We think BIG ==

**Results**
//To calculate the average of each category, add each trial and divide the sum by 3.//

 * **Did you get any good ideas from the groups you were watching?**
 * **one group had good loft time**
 * **What techniques can you borrow?**
 * **Don't make the plane so wide make it long**
 * **What do the results of the different planes suggest about their designs?**
 * **Some had to much weight so they didn't go very far**
 * **//Hypothesize//: What specific design elements might make a difference when testing for accuracy, distance and time aloft? Why?**
 * **Keep a narrow body but make bigger wings, not using paperclips, don't whip the plane just give it a semi-hard toss**

Iterate :

 * Design a new plane**

//  //
 * **What iterations did you make to your final design?**
 * **How did these changes influence your results?**
