Airplane Construction

-Our goal was to create a balsa wood plane. It consisted of balsa wood, glue, a rubber band, a propeller, and tissue paper.
-We added weight to the front of our plane to make sure it would fly straight.
-Our aircraft did well. It might have not gone the farthest but it had the longest flight time.
-Our team brainstormed ideas to find a way to make our plane fly straight. With trial and error, we were able to refine our approach by adding paper clips to the front. We had to select an approach to fix our wings because they were not holding during the test flight; so we added glue to reinforce the wings
