stunts, basically it was bad at flying. The best solution was indeed the Falcon Mk.II because of
its intricate design. The airflow was better than I have ever seen on a paper airplane. It had a
Star Wars space shuttle type design. When the plane(s) would detach the one remaining flying
would get a boost when it would detach because of the weight reduction. This plane also had
50/50 weight distribution because of the paperclip on the back of the plane.
The build we chose was the Falcon Mk.II because it worked completely fine in wind
conditions of below 3 mph. Outdoors where it was mucky, wet, and windy it traveled 15 feet.
The problem was that when the plane would land the front end would would get bent and ruined
the aerodynamics which in return rendered the plane useless. We had to rebuild it inside and
when it was rebuilt, it preformed amazing traveling 40 feet indoors. The space shuttle idea interms of detachment needs a better design because some flights the plane did not detach at all,
which would affect the distance in a bad way.
What the Falcon Mk.II can improve on is the weight distribution, maybe more weight on
the right side by attaching the paperclip on the right side of the wing. Some mechanism that
would improve the detachment of the plane(s) and assure that every flight the plane(s) would
detach.
