  7. Flying Machines • These rockets can go 50 feet in the air. • Click to watch it in action Air Powered Rockets Instructions for soda bottle powered rockets. Build-It-Yourself.com

  8. Flying Machines • Explore the physics of flight including: • Center of gravity. • Wing shape for lift. • Steering ailerons. • Wing position and stability. Gliders Click to watch it in action Instructions for soda bottle powered gliders. Build-It-Yourself.com

  9. Flying Machines • Build a revolutionary, incredible flying machine from your collection of premium quality junk. Space Ships and Other Flying Contraptions Build-It-Yourself.com

  10. Flying Machines Lab Book Research • How much extra time would we have (to play computer games) if we could get to and from school every day in 1 minute instead of 30 minutes? • 2. Write a brief history of flight including pictures. Build-It-Yourself.com

  11. Flying Machines Lab Book ResearchTime saved if we could rocket to school. Build-It-Yourself.com

  12. Flying Machines The center of gravity will determine if your plane will dive, stall, or glide straight. Position a paper clip along your fuselage to experiment. Physics of Flight – Center of Gravity Paper clip too far forward Paper clip too far to the rear Paper clip just right Build-It-Yourself.com

  17. 2 C V L Flying Machines • To fly, the ‘Lift’ must be > than the weight of the plane. • The general airplane lift equation: • where: • L is the lift (in pounds), • ρ is the air density, L = ρ S > Weight of plane ½ Physics of Flight - Lift Build-It-Yourself.com

  18. 2 C V L Flying Machines • To fly, the ‘Lift’ must be > than the weight of the plane. • The general airplane lift equation: • where: • L is the lift (in pounds), • ρ is the air density, • S is the area of the wing, L = L = ρ ρ S > Weight of plane ½ Physics of Flight - Lift Build-It-Yourself.com

  19. 2 C V L Flying Machines • To fly, the ‘Lift’ must be > than the weight of the plane. • The general airplane lift equation: • where: • L is the lift (in pounds), • ρ is the air density, • S is the planform area of the wing, and • Vis the airspeed of the airplane. • According to this formula, • which airplane factor is the most important? L = ρ S > Weight of plane ½ Physics of Flight - Lift Build-It-Yourself.com

  20. C L 2 C V L Flying Machines • To fly, the ‘Lift’ must be > than the weight of the plane. • The general airplane lift equation: • where: • L is the lift (in pounds), • ρ is the air density, • S is the planform area of the wing, and • Vis the true airspeed of the airplane. • is the lift coefficient which factors complex shape design. L = ρ S > Weight of plane ½ Physics of Flight - Lift Fast Moving Air - Less Pressure Gravity Slow Moving Air - More Pressure Lift Build-It-Yourself.com
