Egg Flying Machine

  The Flying Machine that my group built, was expired by the designs of the glider and the Da Vinci Flying Machine. At first my group member and I had two ideas, the first one was to attache a plastic bag on the back of our flying machine, but that was not allowed and we did not have an idea of how exactly the plastic bag will be attached to the back of the flying machine. Also we did not want to make the flying machine too complicated. The second idea was to build a flying machine which is similar to the design from the Wright brothers who designed the first airplane in the 1900s. My group member and I both agreed in the end that to make a Wright brothers flying machine, we may need more straws than we have, and the main material to use for the wings is either newspapers or plastic bag, we did not want to make the bottom of the flying machine to become too heavy after we add the egg which may drag the flying machine when we put it into experiment.
