  • paper clip


Some steps:

1. get your paper
2. fold it in half 
3.  get 2 corners and fold them into the middle
4. fold the corners into the middle
Findings:

Plane Type
Distance
Behaviour
Normal
2.9m
curved
Ailerons
3.5m
straight line
Paper clip


3.2swooped

Conclusion:
The plane with ailerons went the furthest because it had more drag but normal weight so it was more controlled than the others aeroplanes
