Fling Machine Reflection

Austyn and myself had the incredibly hard challenge of launching two balls of cotton across the room as far as possible. To do this we collaborated together to come up with a plane. This plane was made of aluminium foil and had the cotton balls rolled up into cylindrical shapes and placed in the nose of the craft.

A block of aluminium.

Our test flight data is as follows in the bar graph.

The mean of our data is roughly 5.6 feet. The median is 5.5 feet, and the range is 4.8 feet.
