...ABSTRACT This paper will attempt to discuss the basic aerodynamic principles of flight. It will be based on Module 3, Learning Objective 1: ‘For a typical aircraft, describe the functions of the structure and the flight controls. Apply aerodynamic principles to explain how flight controls control pitch, roll, and yaw’. It will also outline the basic control surfaces of an aircraft and the primary and secondary effects of each of them. In addition, it will also explore Bernoulli’s Principle and the forces acting on an aircraft in flight.

...Thrust and Lift "Thrust" and "lift" are two other forces that help your plane make a long flight. Thrust is the forward movement of the plane. The initial thrust comes from the muscles of the "pilot" as the paper airplane is launched. After this, paper airplanes are really gliders, converting altitude to forward motion. Lift comes when the air below the airplane wing is pushing up harder than the air above it is pushing down. It is this difference in pressure that enables the plane to fly. Pressure can be reduced on a wing's surface by making the air move over it more quickly. The wings of a plane are curved so that the air moves more quickly over the top of the wing, resulting in an upward push, or lift, on the wing. The Four Forces in Balance History of the Paper Airplane There is some evidence of paper kites and gliders that originated in Ancient China and Japan. In Europe, it was only during the Renaissance period onwards that inventors attempted to create paper models of a machine that could fly. The Wright brothers were the ones who invented airplanes, and they did this by testing out miniature paper models! Toy paper planes only became popular much later, during WWII. Since all materials and supplies were rationed, children made or received airplanes made from paper instead of metal, wood, or...

...before the investigation is conducted). The experiment that I will be performing will be to create two paper airplanes, each of different types of papers and to document which one will glide the farthest. This experiment will supply information that will benefit students studying aerodynamics and anyone else that is researching flight design in comparison to distance traveled. 1. In a literature review, summarize information from at least two outside science experiment projects (published works or works by other students) that relate to your topic of inquiry. In the first paper that I reviewed the hypothesis was that two airplanes would be thrown, each of a different type of paper and two different styles of planes. The students thought that the plane with the largest wing span and lighter paper would fly the farthest. They concluded that their hypothesis was partly incorrect in that the style of plane did travel farther but the type of paper created problems. (rnc3333,2008) In the second paper that I reviewed the authors basically stated that regardless of thrust, style or weight of paper all paper airplanes will at some point land because it will lose the force or thrust that is propelling it. (123helpme.com, 2012) 2. In an experimental design, do the following: a. Describe the steps in the experimental procedure.

...research the relationship between right-wing populism and Christianity in Europe I am proposing a quantitative research analysis through a general questionnaire survey of the European Union’s electorate. This survey will ask European voters two questions, (1) what values are most important to you? (2) What is your preferred political party, or party voted for in the most recent national or European Union elections? The first question will provide respondents with a list of values, from which they will rank the top three they find most important. The value list will contain such items as friendship and family, independence, social justice, national identity, honoring traditions, culture, faith in god, sanctity marriage, forgiveness,...

...Rafael Giron 4/25/13 Humanities Final Paper Art Institute I took a trip to the building on 111 South Michigan Avenue, it is the home of the Art Institute of Chicago, which to give a little history that I learned while my visit there I learned quite of bit of history and even though there is a lot art work inside the building itself is piece of artwork as well and that is what I want to focus on and some paintings as well, it was opened in 1893 for the World’s Columbian Exposition. The building was passed on to the Art Institute after the end of the exposition. The building has become an icon for the people that live there an tourists alike. The Modern Wing, the Art Institute’s latest and largest addition to date, opened on May 16, 2009. While there I took notes of the historical building and saw many exhibits which I will get into later. The 264,000 square foot addition now houses the museum’s collections of modern European painting and contemporary art, sculpture, architecture design, and photography. The new Modern Wing looks and feels very different from the original Art Institute building because of its materials. While in there I took the breath taking sites and looking and walking around for most of my day I noticed something and it makes sense to me that a gallery for classical art would be housed in a building with a classical style, and a gallery for modern art would be housed in a more modern building, which is how the Art Institute has reorganized it’s collections...

...Medieval Europe Tower jumps started in medieval Europe around 800 AD. Armen Firman made a jump in Cordoba, Spain, covering his body with vulture feathers and attaching two wings to his arms. On landing he is said to have crashed and sustained a back injury which some critics attributed to a lack of a tail. Eilmer of Malmesbury, an English monk, flew from the tower of Malmesbury Abbey in a primitive glider. Eilmer was said to have flown over 200 yards before landing, breaking both his legs. Eilmer later remarked that the only reason he did not fly further was that he forgot to give his machine a tail. This burst of activity was followed by a lull of several centuries. Jumping revived in 1496 with Seccio breaking both arms in Nuremberg and...

...Museum Paper Art 101 Starting my visit to the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum I was unsure of the artifact that I would choose to write this paper about. I have been to the Smithsonian museums countless times in my life strolling about taking the exhibits for granted like the many other people raised in the Washington metropolitan area having virtiously unlimited access to them. I was prepared for another mundane visit to the museums, however this visit was different I saw many exhibits that I have studied recently in this class such as the Lascaux caves and other prehistoric art. I found myself engaged as never before as I searched the old halls for what would be subject of this paper an ancient artifact of my very own choosing. I decided on the Cypruss crossroads of civilizations exhibit located on the museums second floor. I was drawn to this exhibit mainly due to the two large stone statues at opposing ends of it’s narrow entrance doors. Upon entry I was amazed at all of the ancient original pieces most of which I can recall learning about in this class. I decided that I would pick a piece and snap a quick picture of myself proudly standing next to it, get the dimensions and backround and be on my way to an A paper in no time. I pulled out my digital camera and began to power it up when I was immediately advised by the museum security guard that I was not authorized to take pictures inside the exhibit due to the delicate nature of the artifacts. I...

...of a Paper Plane’s different masses on its time on flight The following experiment (underneath) is to do with a paper plane and its mass and time of flight. Here is a chance to experiment with different masses of a paper plane to observe how it affects it’s time of flight. Research Question: How does the mass (g) of a paper plane affect the time (seconds) of its flight? Hypothesis: It is expected that, the more mass on the paper plane’s wings, the time of flight will decrease. This is because more mass; the faster gravity will pull it down. *Independent variable: Number of paperclips (amount of mass in grams) Dependent variable: The time of flight –measured in seconds. X Controlled variables: Throw it with the same force in each throw, and same angle of the throw. Materials: Stop watch 3 pieces of A4 paper to make paper planes 1 balance 12 paperclips Method: Make 3 ordinary paper planes from A4 sheet of paper Find someone who is willing to throw the paper plane for all the trials in the experiment. Take the paper plane and weigh it using the balance (weighing scale), to note down its mass. Find an open space for the plane to fly freely and take your planes there. Throw 1 paper plane from shoulder level and start the stop watch at the same time of the throw. Stop the stop watch the moment when the plane touches the ground. Record your data and repeat steps 4-6 four more times. For the second trial, add 1 paperclip to each wing and weigh...

...Timothy Towfeless Acct 301A Paper Prof. Jose Miranda Lopez FIFO Cost Flow for Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) Inventory Throughout the course of this class, many topics have been brought to the table. In every accounting class, they will reiterate the conceptual framework of accounting by briefly discuss about the Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement. Each accounting class they will go in depth of those conceptual frameworks, but in the perspective from the side of Assets or Liability or Stockholder’s equity. Majority of the course was spent on the asset side, topics such as Cash, Receivables, and Inventory Valuations, also with additional issues, were discussed. When choosing a restaurant for a topic, the first thing that comes to mind is inventory. How can a restaurant operate without taking into account inventory? Buffalo Wild Wing is a very unique restaurant that operates on providing wings and sports bar ambiance. In order to understand how they control inventory, there needs to be a specific identification. Specific Identification calls for identifying each item sold and each item in inventory; is used by companies that focus on selling inventories that will not be substantial and can be counted physically without incurring heavy costs for tracking individual inventory items. This is a good idea for Buffalo Wild Wings because they can keep track of the food inventory, but the disadvantages to this method involve income manipulation on similar or identical...
