Homework Statement
The problem is to construct a model out of ordinary materials such as paper, blotting paper, foil, tights and so on, that is supposed to fall along about 3 metre long runner with as longest time as possible. (with the inspirations like maple seed)
The Attempt at a Solution
I was thinking about a paper towel parachute with holes in it that would keep the air circulation not to swing around... Or the propeller model with tube (has to have a hole for attaching it to the runner) and 3 blades like in helicopter...
What is the best way to use air resistance in this case?
I'm sorry for such dumb questions =_=,
thank you
