Detailed explanation-1: -In our experiment the wingspan will be the independent variable. The dependent variable is the distance the plane flies.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like all planes, paper airplanes experience four forces: gravity, thrust, lift, and drag. Simple changes, like wing size, body weight, and throw power can significantly alter the forces your plane experiences.

Detailed explanation-3: -When designing a paper airplane, changing the size, shape, weight and smoothness of the wing will affect its speed, rate of descent and its ability to glide.

Detailed explanation-4: -your independent variable would be paper airplane design, your dependent variable would be flight distance your constants would include where you stand when you fly the planes, who is flying the planes, plane launch angle, type of paper used to make the planes, etc.

Detailed explanation-5: -The shape of an airplane’s wings is what makes it possible for the airplane to fly. Airplanes’ wings are curved on top and flatter on the bottom. That shape makes air flow over the top faster than under the bottom. As a result, less air pressure is on top of the wing.
