Day 06 - Write Up EDP

Your EDP write-up must include all sections of the EDP:

1. Define your problem (includes test requirements)
2. Research concepts necessary to solve the problem (your Cornell notes on lift and drag)
3. Brainstorm all possible ideas (images of prototypes used to explore ideas)
4. Choose your best option (image of your final prototype, including ailerons or elevators or rudders)
5. Implement your choice (test your prototype and collect data on its performance)
6. Evaluate your solution (explain the performance of the prototype, using Newton and/or Bernoulli to justify your explanation)

Remember that to pass all 3 tests, your prototype MUST include at least one of the following elements:

• ailerons
• elevators
• rudder

Today we're going to test the performance of your prototypes against the project requirements. Any teams that do not complete their tests during the bell will have to schedule a time after school to test their prototypes.

Test 1

• straight-line flight from one end of 2150 lengthwise across the room

Test 2

• when thrown straight (at blue X on back wall):
1. glide forward at least 1 meter without deviating more than 0.5 meter left or right
2. after passing the first meter, must achieve a 90° turn left before crossing the 2-meter line

Test 3

• when thrown straight (at blue X on back wall):
1. glide forward at least 1 meter without deviating more than 0.5 meter left or right
2. after passing the first meter, must achieve a 90° turn right before crossing the 2-meter line
