science fair help on building objects capable of flying
hi. me and my 3 partners are doing a science fair about areodynamics. we are going to explain what areodynamics is and the uses for it. and with our experiment we are planning to build a mini glider and a boomerang. but somehow i think that its not enough. oh and i did research a lot about our subject but i still think something is missing. can anyone give us more ideas of experiments or tips on how to do this. thanks for listening

Hi
Check out the projects on aerpdymics in the Science Buddies Project Ideas:

I particularly like this project and the resources listed in the Bibliography section:

Have fun with your project!
Best regards

The key to aerodynamics is understanding how and why an airfoil (wing for example) works. Do a web search for "Bernoulli's Principle" and read several different articles.

Thank you for all your help... I'm truly grateful and in the near future, I will use this advice you sent, but I had to change my subject because my partners bailed out.... so now I posted another subject that I will be doing... Thanks for the advice
