Can I fly with dragon wings?
@hypothesis:
If I use a 9.2m² wing, I might glide!
@materials: !photo
- Wing 5m²
- Wing 9.2m²
- Harness
- Pilot (22kg)
@procedure: grid[2,2]
1. Calculate lift needed
2. Test small wing
3. Test large wing
4. Measure results
@results: chart, prominent
@math: table
| Mass | 22 kg |
| Speed | 4 m/s |
| Lift needed | 216 N |
@conclusion: callout
9.2m² not enough. Need 20m²!
Outputs:
- 6 photos (4x6) for poster
- 1 chart (8x10)
- 1 photo book (8x8)
