In a new collaboration with Engineering Tomorrow, students are introduced to the forces that an airplane experiences in flight. They will try to maximize the lift of their paper airplane designs and optimize lift to complete the distance or flight time challenges. Students will use the skills learned in this lab to design an accurate and precise paper airplane model.
Students will also have the opportunity to speak one-on-one with college mentors from major universities who specialize in aerodynamics and engineering to help focus their design and provide constructive feedback during the process!
