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

EPTLSP #1**Results**

 * || ** Accuracy ** || ** Distance ** || ** Time Aloft ** ||
 * **Trial #1** || no || 6' 3" || 1.5 ||
 * **Trial #2** || no || 16 ' 1" || 2.84 ||
 * **Trial #3** || no || 20' 1" || 2.36 ||
 * ** Total ** || NO || 42' 5" || 6.7 ||
 * ** Average ** || No || 14' 2" || 2.23 ||

//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? We did not get any AMAZING ideas from the other groups, but we got a few small ideas.**
 * **What techniques can you borrow? We can borrow a technique where the wings have little flaps going up on them. Also, we can leave it open, and make it small and thin.**
 * **What do the results of the different planes suggest about their designs? Some of the results suggested that the designs were not fully capable of going far, and that we should not try them.**
 * **//Hypothesize//: What specific design elements might make a difference when testing for accuracy, distance and time aloft? Why? The size, shape, and the way we fold it might make a difference.**
