This essay is a "how-to" essay that fully explains in detail how to make a paper airplane. It also give history of the paper airplane and instructions on how to put it into flight. PAPER AIRPLANE Since early in history‚ man has been fascinated with the sky and possibilities of flight. Improvements in flight‚ especially in the 20th century‚ have revolutionized the world. People can go around the world in less than a day‚ cross oceans in a matter of hours‚ even go from city to city in a fraction

ASCI 310: Aircraft Performance Research Project Objectives One of the requirements for this course is an Aircraft Performance Research Project that entails planning a flight from Denver International Airport (KDEN) to Chicago O’Hare International Airport (KORD) for a given aircraft‚ weather conditions‚ and assumptions. The objective is to apply what has been learned throughout this course. Drawing on aeronautics theory and using the performance charts and equations presented in the course‚

Experiment 1 Fluid Flow In A Smooth Pipe Abstract In this experiment‚ three variable flow meters are used to alter the flowrate. Changes in pressure drop due to the change in flowrate are then observed from the three pressure gauges that can measure pressure at different range and recorded. The shift from laminar flow to turbulent flow is seen from the results recorded‚ but it is observed more clearly from the water-soluble dye experiment that was carried out by the demonstrator. Laminar flow

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS 1 Torricelli’s barometer used mercury. Pascal duplicated it using French wine of density 984 kg m-3. Determine the height of the wine column for normal atmospheric pressure. 2 A vertical off-shore structure is built to withstand a maximum stress of 109 Pa. Is the structure suitable for putting up on top of an oil well in the ocean? Take the depth of the ocean to be roughly 3 km‚ and ignore ocean currents. 3 A hydraulic automobile lift is designed to lift cars with

Fluid Mechanics 3-Aerofoil Lab Report Introduction This report aims to investigate the effect the angle of attack of an aerofoil has on the air flow around it. This was done by recording the lift and drag forces the aerofoil experienced when positioned at different angles of attack. The experimental lift force the aerofoil experienced when positioned at different angles of attack was then compared with theoretical values. An attempt was made to explain any discrepancies

Jet Streams Jet streams are strong westerly winds that blow in a narrow band in Earth ’s upper atmosphere at the same altitudes at which airplanes fly. They form because of temperature variations between the poles and equator. There are two occurrences that results in the Jet Streams. The first occurrence would be when hot air rises from the tropics towards the North and South Poles subsequently the second occurrence is as the hot air is moving to the north and south poles from the tropics‚ the

Introduction: In any pipe system there is going to be a loss of energy due to the effect of viscosity from a fluid acting upon the surface of the pipe‚ this is called Friction Loss. This type of lost depends on the shear stress due to the walls of the pipe and the fluid. It also depends in weather the fluid is laminar or turbulent. A major difference between these two flows is that due to a viscous layer created in turbulent flow the roughness of the pipe can be taken in account while in laminar
