Throwing Paper Airplanes With the World Record Holder

John Collins, the “Paper Airplane Guy,” studied origami and aerodynamics in a quest to design the world's most sophisticated paper projectiles. His record-breaking plane flew 226 feet. To Collins, paper airplanes aren't just for making a ruckus in class, they can teach us a lot about science. Buuuut class disruption is an added bonus.

Johnny K. Why

@johnnyk.2911 7 жыл бұрын

Aditya Malik Atmospheric pressure, barometric pressure, is the pressure exerted by the weight of air in the atmosphere, which in turn allows for flight. The updraft, downdraft in the form of pressure is what allows for the dynamics of flight. How does a plane move forward without jet propulsion but rather with the use of a propeller? Same physics as the former, manipulation of air pressure...this is all flight 101. So unless he meant something else, I’m not quite sure why he would say such a thing. I suppose it’s in the same context of why a bicycle is kept balanced by the momentum of a rider. Most physics professors state that we still haven’t figured out why that is…now that’s a little more acceptable then what was stated by this guy.

@jamesfeguson3445 7 жыл бұрын

That doesnt work though, the idea that the shape of the wing dictates that the pressure under the wing is greater than the pressure above and causes lift cant be true because how can planes fly upside down.

@johnnyk.2911 7 жыл бұрын

James Feguson Wow seriously dude? If I have some time in the near future I'll explain it to you...to busy at the moment.

@WeAreThePeef 7 жыл бұрын

James Feguson "In order to maintain altitude while flying inverted, an aircraft must fly with wings at a negative angle of attack sufficient to negate the lift generated by the wing's shape. ... When upside down, the pilot has to apply stick forward pressure to maintain lift." Picture: qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-004d5f75e30540993b2e89de59f306cd Google is a thing, you don't need to have unanswered questions to things we understand well.

I remember a classmate way back then having many holes in certian shapes on paper airplane she folded. When she'd throw it in the air while the air was blowing it would float in mid air in one spot through the direction the wind was blowing. It looked as if it were an rc helecopter flying the way it did
