Lou-Vee-Air Car

[cdowney8]

I am a high school senior and for physics class we are making cars out of paper, paper clips, straws, glue, and tape. The cars must have a propulsion system made out of those materials as well. I am struggling at figuring out a design that will go atleast 20 feet. Any ideas? help is greatly appreciated

Otherwise, you will need something like an elastic band to store energy.
