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

**Results**

 * || ** Accuracy ** || ** Distance ** || ** Time Aloft ** ||
 * **Trial #1** || 3 FEET || 05.16 ||  ||
 * **Trial #2** || 2 feet || 1.42 ||  ||
 * **Trial #3** || 7 feet || 1.3 ||  ||
 * ** Total ** || 12feet || 7.85 ||  ||
 * ** Average ** || 4 feet || 2.6714 || //To calculate the average of each category, add each trial and divide the sum by 3.// ||

**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?yes**
 * **What techniques can you borrow?twitters/ lighter and thiner**
 * **What do the results of the different planes suggest about their designs? the fatter and heavier ones wouldnt go far nor through.**
 * **//Hypothesize//: What specific design elements might make a difference when testing for accuracy, distance and time aloft? Why? If we made our planes even smaller, than the would of gone farther.**

Iterate :

 * Design a new plane**

Plane #3


//To calculate the average of each category, add each trial and divide the sum by 3.//
 * Results**
 * || ** Accuracy ** || ** Distance ** || ** Time Aloft ** ||
 * **Trial #1** || yes || 15.9 || 1.73 ||
 * **Trial #2** || yes || 12.50 || 1.24 ||
 * **Trial #3** || yes || 15.29 || 1.34 ||
 * ** Total ** || yes || 15.49 || 4.31 ||
 * ** Average ** || yes || 14.263 || 1.4367 ||

Reflect:

 * What iterations did you make to your design?**
