Paper Planes

Paper Planes Task

1st plane - 
This plane barely flew at all. I really failed at this one. This won’t be my final paper plane hopefully. 

2nd plane - This one I didn’t make correctly. I think I missed out a fold or something. 

3rd plane - I completely gave up on this one. It got confusing halfway through. The youtube video I used was obviously not very well made. 

4th plane - Beautiful. Works. This one actually flew but kept on going higher. I will probably put my own time into this plane to upgrade it. And figure out how to make sure it doesn’t just go up. 

My ear…...

Paper Plane Modification Observations

Modification made
What specifically did you change about your original design?
Why I made the Modification
What do you expect will happen when you fly your plane?
What actually happened
Did you achieve the expected outcome or did something else happen?
Next steps
What are you going to do to improve this specific modification? Do you need to?
I taped the side together so that it would be more even, and tilted the wings down slightly.
I made the modification because the plane wasn’t flying that far, and was going off the path. I expect that the plane will go farther and in a straighter line. 
The plane did not go as far as before but did stay in a slightly straighter shape and line.
I think my next steps would be to figure out how to make it fly farther, and if I could change its shape a little to make that happen.
