Ready for take off! Discover how spinning motors and pulley wheels can launch a paper plane at up to 40 km/h.
Build your paper plane launcher, try out some different paper plane designs and then launch them! Work out which designs fly furthest, fastest or do the best acrobatics! The plane launcher uses two rotating wheels.
A lot of energy is stored in the wheels when they are spinning. When you slip your paper plane in between, some of the energy is transferred to it and the plane is launched out at high speed. You can adjust the height of the legs on the plane launcher to launch the planes at different angles.
Warning: This is not a toy. This is intended to be an educational kit that demonstrates a science principle in a fun way.
