 * What propeller goes furthest underneath a fan store bought or homemade?**

I am testing this experiment to see what kind of propeller makes the plane fly furthest under a fan.

I think the store bought one will work better because of the aerodynamics. I will buy a small model plane that comes with a propeller. Next I will assemble the plane. I will make the blades by hot gluing the center of the pop sicle sticks. I will also build three sets of propellers the three materials I am going to use are pop sickle sticks, copy paper, and tissue paper. On the plane there will be a place to attach a propeller. The propeller will have three blades. Then I will hang the plane with thin wire from the ceiling and see which type of propeller goes furthest. I will test each blade three times.
 * Hypothesis**
 * Procedure**

These materials are used for the propellers.
 * __Material__**
 * paint/accessories
 * thin wire
 * Pop sickle sticks
 * Hot glue
 * Push pin
 * fan
 * meter sticks
 * tissue paper
 * copy paper
 * model plane
 * scissors or knife

Well my experiment didn't work as planned but I still got the results. The plastic or store bought one worked best so my hypothesis was correct but surprisingly in second place for farthest distance was the tissue paper. I think this happened because the air could blow it and make it spin faster causing it to go farther. Then the popsicle stick and copy paper came in last. I think the copy paper came in last because it is the most flimsiest.
 * Results**


 * Trials ||= Plastic ||= Copy Paper ||= Popsicle Sticks ||= Tissue Paper ||
 * Trial 1 || 8 in || 4 in || 5 in || 7 in ||
 * Trial 2 ||= 8 in ||= 2 in ||= 6 in ||= 6 in ||
 * Trial 3 ||= 8 in ||= 3 in ||= 7 in ||= 7 in ||



What would happen if I made the wire longer? Would it make a differnce if the materials were differnt? What would happen if I put the plane in an air trapped box? **
