Phase 1: Research!

I've started my research on wing design!

I have looked at some websites, particularly this one:
http://www.desktop.aero/appliedaero/wingdesign/wingdesign.html
This website particularly addressed my topic, especially what the designs serve to do.

I'm still thinking about what I should do for my presentation. I was thinking of making paper airplane models with different wing designs, but as a person who still has yet to perfect the simplest folding for a paper airplane, I think that might be a bad idea. It would be a good idea if I do not fly the planes in class for the presentation, but my presentation would be completely lame.

Or I could just make models of the wings. And maybe I could design one myself and tell the class what purpose it serves.

  2. It is very smart to be starting on planning the final presentation already! I think that either the paper airplanes or wing models will make for an interesting presentation. You could choose whichever one is more practical to make or produces a more dramatic result.
    Anyway, I'm excited to see more from you!
