1. List all of the changes you can think of to make your plane fly farther:
A.
B.
C.

2. Pick three changes you think will be most effective and write them in the table in the
space provided on Pg.3 of this worksheet: Change 1, Change 2, and Change 3.

3. Conduct three trial runs of each version of your plane (including the original design), and
record the total distance in the table on pg.3 of this worksheet.

4. Now compute the total distance for each experiment by adding up the total distance for
test 1, test 2, and test 3. Record your results in the Total column.

Example:

5. Now find the average distance for each experiment by dividing the total by 3.

6. We now want to see which changes made the plane fly farther. One way to look at this is
to compute the percent change using the following steps.:

A. Write down the average distance for Change 1: ___________

B. Write down the average distance for No Change: ___________
C. Subtract your answer in Step B from Step A: ______________
D. Take your answer from Step C and divide by your answer from step B: __________
E. Multiply your answer in Step D by 100: _________. This is your percent change!

The formula for this is:

[(average from Change 1 – average from No Change)/average from No Change] * 100
To find the percent change for each trial, you only need to change the value of Step

Control Redesign Distance Traveled

Test 1 Test 2 Test 3 Total Average Distance

2 feet 3 feet 3 feet 8 feet 2.7 feet

No change

3 feet 2 feet 4.5 feet 9.5 3.2 feet

Change 1: feet 3.2-2.7=0.5
Both elevators down 0.5/2.7=0.2
0.2x100=18.5

1 feet 1.5 feet 2 feet 4.5 1.5 feet

Change 2: feet 1.5-2.7=-1.2
Left aileron up, right -1.2/2.7=-0.4
aileron down. -0.4x100=-44.4

3.5 feet 3 feet 2.5 feet 9 feet 3 feet

Change 3: 3-2.7=0.3
0.3/2.7=0.1
Both elevators up. 0.1x100=11.1

7. What does a Positive Change Mean?

Positive change means when you change something that adds more upgrades or made a
positive impact to help the previous to upgrade.

8. Which one of your changes made the biggest difference?

Elevators are both down because it creates more lift.
