One requirement of my science class is to make a science fair project. I thought I would do something in the aviation field for it, but I don't have many ideas right now. Any ideas out there?

Rockets or an RC plane...they're always fun

Or you could do a presentation of how a turbine works.

Not aviation per se, but it still uses Bernouli's Principle:  build a hovercraft using a gas/electric leaf blower, some big sheets of plastic and some plywood.  I did this for my science fair back in 12th grade, and it was a big hit- mainly because I was giving people rides.

I did a project in the 7th grade involving the number of propeller blades vs. efficiency. Went all the way to nationals.

WHat Type of Wing is most effective at low Speeds? (Straight, Delta, Swept, tapered etc.)

When i did the science fair about 6 years ago i did a presentation on Aerodynamics, i built different wings and tested them in a scale wind tunnel for their effectiveness. Thats a good one to do for sure

Good idea!

A. It doesn't require too much work. You can simply print a few stuff out on a giant poster or power point presentation.
B. It gets you good grades. The more boring it is, the more marks you'll get lol.

You could make a working model also, if you wanted.

You know, I kind of was thinking something like this. Thanks for the help (and the pictures of weird projects).
