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 :D

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
