Lots of data and info about paper airplanes, and lots of planes
Lots of data and info about paper airplanes, from Papierfliegerei: From flight tests and experiments, a lot can be gained qualitative statements about paper airplanes. Paper airplanes cost so much, because empiricism is certainly a possible solution. But you can also calculate pretty good paper airplane. The Excel table on the right is intended to provide […]
Paper Airplane Producers: Morning Types vs. Evening Types
People differ in their diurnal (time of day) preferences: some are morning-types and others are evening-types. These differences are explored in a unique experiment design in which subjects are randomly assigned to produce paper airplanes at either 8:00 a.m. or 10:00 p.m. Our results show that evening-types, at their optimal time of day (10:00 p.m.), […]
