By building, a very small plane. My uncle believes I have the abilities to do this and I'm taking it on.
By next Thursday, I am going to attempt to make a working aeroplane. If I'm correct, Thrust can be achieved by using a motor to spin propellers shaped in an aerofoil. Considering this is to prove how simple a plane is, I will only be using household items - so a home-made motor has to be achieved. After research, I've figured that a motor can be made using a flat headed screw, a metal disc, a big battery(D and up) and some copper wire. These will go inside my near enough destroyed lucozade bottle connecting to the propellers coming out of the top of the bottle.
Then comes lift. After more research, this is achieved by the shape of the wings and thrust acting upon the plane - this may be why cars don't fly. I believe the wing shape is again, an aerofoil.
