  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 Design the space ship of your dreams and program it in Scratch to explore the Universe. Space Ships and Other Flying Contraptions Build-It-Yourself.com

  11. Flying Machines • PowerPoint Guru • Problem Solver • Creative, Modular Builder • Master of Presentations • Aeronautical Physicist Super powers you will acquire To the moon and beyond … 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 Dive: Paper clip too far forward Stall: Paper clip too far to the rear Glide: Paper clip at the Center of Gravity Build-It-Yourself.com

  13. Flying Machines The Center of Gravity is the point at which an object balances. How can you find the center of gravity? Put two fingers at the ends of an object. Gradually move your fingers toward each other keeping the object balanced. When your fingers touch each other and the object is still balanced, that is the CENTER OF GRAVITY. Physics of Flight – Center of Gravity 1) 2) Center of Gravity 3) Build-It-Yourself.com

  14. So how can I gain more lift? Lift > Gravity lift = air density x my speed x my speed x wing area x wing shape www.Build-It-Yourself.com

  15. When I flap, the air balls push me back up! lift lift lift = air density x my speed x my speed x wing area x wing shape www.Build-It-Yourself.com

  16. The more air balls, the more lift! lift lift lift = air density x my speed x my speed x wing area x wing shape www.Build-It-Yourself.com

  17. If I fly faster than my former self, I will gain more lift! my speed lift lift = air density xmy speed x my speed x wing area x wing shape www.Build-It-Yourself.com

  18. Smaller wings … Less arrows lift lift lift = air density x my speed x my speed xwing area x wing shape www.Build-It-Yourself.com

  19. Larger wings … More arrows lift lift lift = air density x my speed x my speed xwing area x wing shape www.Build-It-Yourself.com

  20. The shape matters! Fast Moving Air - Less Pressure Lift Slow Moving Air - More Pressure lift = air density x my speed x my speed x wing area xwing shape www.Build-It-Yourself.com

  21. So how can I gain more lift? Lift > Gravity lift = air density x my speed x my speed x wing area x wing shape www.Build-It-Yourself.com

  26. Flying Machines Wing angle down will make your plane roll and fly upside down. Wing angle up will make your plane fly stable. Physics of Flight - Control Front views Build-It-Yourself.com

  27. Flying Machines Ailerons (wing flaps) will make a plane turn and create lift or drag. Physics of Flight - Control Build-It-Yourself.com

  28. Flying Machines Tail fins (or vertical stabilizers) help control yaw. Physics of Flight - Control Build-It-Yourself.com

  29. Flying Machines Calculate how fast the 1903 Wright Brothers plane had to go to get off the ground. http://wright.nasa.gov/airplane/lifteq.html - PSI at sea level is 14.7 - Wing area = 40 x 6 x 2 sq. ft. • Weight = 750lbs • Angle of attack = 5 degrees • Speed of sound = 760mph • Speed of passenger get = 560mph • Speed of Wright Bros. Plane = ?????? Physics of Flight – Wright Brothers Build-It-Yourself.com
