Josh's Science Fair Project: "Flight Patterns"

Question: Which characteristic do you think will help a paper airplane fly the farthest: increased wing length, wing flaps, extra nose weight, or a tail fin? Josh guessed that increased wing length would make the biggest difference. After spending an afternoon in our basement flying airplanes, he figured out that the wing flaps made the biggest difference- and wing length seemed to make the least ammount of difference!
Who knew?
