The document summarizes an air foil project conducted by two students, Tony Tufano and Drew Bard. They designed and tested an air foil to maximize lift while minimizing drag. They used online simulation programs and built a physical model to test in a wind tunnel. Their results showed that increasing the angle of the air foil increased both lift and drag, but limitations in testing prevented definitive conclusions.

1. Air Foil Project
By: Tony Tufano and Drew Bard

2. Understand
 We are designing an air foil to try to get the highest amount
of lift while getting the least amount of drag
 We will test the air foil using online programs as well as
actually making the air foil and testing it in a wind tunnel

3. Explore
 My partner and I did three worksheets to further out
understanding of the topic.
 One worksheet was the calculus for lift to find out how to
maximize lift.
 Another was making graphs for velocity vs lift, lift vs area,
and other ones to find out how they related to each other.
 We also did an intro to Foil Sim a program that simulated the
air foil.

4. Define
 They were limitations for this project we had to follow
 5 inches in span
 3 inches in chord
 No more then 1 inch thick
 Materials- balsa wood, dowel rod, nuts, and a manlla folder

5. Ideate
Using the Foil Sim program.

6. Prototype

7. Testing

8. Results
These are the results we
received after three tests
using our airfoil.

9. Conclusion
 After reviewing our data we determined that as we increased
the degree at which the wing was placed, lift and drag both
resultantly increased. Though our data showed this trend we
were unable to test frequently enough to completely trust this
output. Throughout the project we also had many extraneous
variables such as when we accidentally removed the airfoil
from the sensors early, skewing our data.
