The walls of Peter Sutton’s home in country South Australia are hung with ghosts – black-and-white photographs he has collected from second-hand shops over the years, the long-gone people he calls “poignant strangers”, staring out from the past, without families who want or remember them. Warning: The following article contains images of Indigenous people who are deceased. If you try our paper airplane engineering activity, share your results with us on the STEAMsational Facebook page! We would love to see your projects in action.Normal text size Larger text size Very large text size However, if you want to judge the planes in more of a paper airplane engineering challenge, see which material produces the best planes, which design can go farthest, which design can do the most tricks, and anything else you can think of! Have fun with it!
Light, pointed planes flew far and straight, while shorter, wider planes with folds in the wings would make loops or crazy turns. We didn’t judge our planes, just observed their differences. I liked the planes that could glide for long distances. We spent an hour or more throwing the planes across the house. Step 4: Start the Paper Airplane Engineering Challenge You can also make your own designs and see what happens. We followed the directions in our book to create the plane designs. We used computer paper for some and construction paper for others. Step 2: Choose a Paper for Your Planeĭecide which planes you want to make out of which paper. In our book, some of the planes were a little challenging for her (8 years old), so she did need a bit of help making some designs. Monkey looked at the plane designs in the book and decided which she wanted to attempt to make.
