AIAA Baltimore Section Maryland Engineering Challenges

AIAA Baltimore Section Elementary School Paper Plane Challenge February Each Year 4 students per team – Written Report – Oral Interview - Timed Build – Jumbo Paper Clip is “Passenger” Performance Score: Length x Speed x Accuracy –Length = Length of Flight –Speed = Length of Flight / Time of Flight –Accuracy = 1 – Deviation / Length of Flight Deviation is distance from center line Contact Tom Milnes at for latest

AIAA Baltimore Section Setup for Paper Plane Challenge Start Line L = Length d = deviation Speed = Length / Time* Accuracy = (1-d/L) *Time from throw to plane stops sliding on floor - “Gate Time” rather than “Landing Time”
