The challenge
Figure out how to increase flight time without jeopardising the helicopter’s stability and flying capacity. There are many factors that affect flight time.
To properly uncover how factors jointly affect the response, use design of experiments - a practical and ubiquitous approach for exploring multi-factor opportunity spaces. Are you up to the challenge?
Get started
Download the instruction sheet.
Make eight paper helicopters as per the instructions and note your experimental choices and decisions.
Good luck!
The competition to win a drone has now closed, but you can still have fun devising experiements to build the best possible paper helicopter!

JMP - Helicopter challenge
PDF, Size 0.37 mb
Since 1989, JMP has combined interactive visualization with powerful statistics to help people see their data more clearly. And when data is better understood, insight-driven improvements are sure to follow. We’ve seen scientists and engineers use JMP software to advance green-energy technologies, speed cancer therapies to market, and build high-performance infrared detectors for probes that traverse the unconquered vastness of deep space. It’s spelled J-M-P but pronounced “jump,” suggesting a leap in interactivity and innovation. JMP is a SAS company.View full profile
