The purpose of this experiment was to determine which homemade paper airplane flew the farthest. The data supported the hypothesis that the "Winter" design would fly the farthest. The "Winter design flew an average of 750 centimeters while the other five designs averaged 450 centimeters. The "Winter" design is small with a sharp nose and small, tight wings. This design uses three key design elements. The other designs did not use these elements and therefore did not have flights that were as successful. The key design elements are having a plane small in size with wings close to its body and a sharp, tunneling nose.
