The more experienced the pilot, the longer the glide time. 1. Would the aspect ratio of a glider need be relatively large or small? 2. What part of an airfoil deals with the arc of the upper and lower surface? Why we don't have flying cars, YET
After watching the video make an argument that society IS or IS NOT ready for flying cars. Do your research, state facts to support your arguemet. List your sources under your statement. Place responses into your Engineering Notebook. Geometric Solids
Watch the video and then come up with other famous landmarks that represent Geometric Solids Write them in your Engineering Notebook 130 mph lawnmower
Watch the video and make a list of modifications that should be made to ensure the safety of the driver of this racing lawnmower. |
