  2. Purpose • To engineer the longest flying helicopter by applying the steps of the scientific method to evaluate different designs.

  3. Materials and Procedure • Materials: Helicopter Template, Scissors, Paper, Paper Clips, Stopwatch. • Procedure: • Cut out the basic (provided) helicopter design, fold it up, place the paperclip on the bottom of the body, and test-fly it. The helicopter should be dropped from a constant height and its descent carefully timed with a stopwatch. Repeat at least three times and record the flight time from each • Modify one, and only one, aspect of the basic design. Fly and record as you did above. • Modify another aspect of the original design and repeat again. • Repeat this until you have tested at least three design modifications of your own.

  4. Data

  5. Data Analysis

  6. Conclusions • The modification using more of the available paper for the rotors produced the longest flight time. • More rotor area made for a longer flight.
