Physics extended essay topics in aerodynamics

[Popeye 21]

Hi Guys,

I need help with my topic for physics, I'm thinking of doing something on aerodynamics, but if its not possible I need help to figure other topics from physics. I would appreciate any advice you would have to give me. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to PF!

Write about frisbee flight. You can talk about its design, do some experiments and even simulate it on a computer. There's a really good paper that describes the flight mechanics in great detail coupled with the biomechanics of throwing it.

Sarah Hummel wrote a masters thesis on it.

Or as a variation you could consider the boomerang, or aerobee...

Do you think it would be possible if I tested how different noises/wings on planes affect it's lift and reaction in a wind tunnel?

thank you for your adivce. :)
