Abstract:
Air travel has become a very common form of transportation in modern society. Everyday, thousands of airplanes fly across the world, allowing humans to travel thousands of miles in a short amount of time. But, do you ever think about the physics of flying? How exactly do airplanes fly? The purpose of this report is to explain the forces that allow these heavy machines to fly. Some of the forces explored in this research are weight, lift, drag, and thrust. I will also explain some of Newton's laws and other principles which influence the way airplanes fly. Information was collected from various credible sources including science magazines and NASA.
Wow. This project is really able to highlight the physics behind air travel. Next time I fly, I will think of this!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very insightful presentation, complete with a great slides presentation and an awesome graphic! I learned so much about airplanes!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very informative project. Your use of physics laws and explanantions are very good! I enjoyed reading this.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful presentation! Eloquent paper and interesting topic. I enjoyed learning about the scientific side of air travel.
