Q: Two questions for clarification:
1. “Teams will design, construct, and fly at least two paper airplanes.”–Does it mean a team with 2 students can make 4 airplanes with 4 paper sheets that are provided? 2 for distance and 2 for time?
A: Correct.
Q: “Teams may make a maximum of two flights for each paper airplane. Two flights are measured for distance and two separate flights are measured for time, for a maximum of four total flights.”-If a team makes 4 paper airplanes, then each airplane only can have one flight under this rule. Is this correct?
A: Correct.
The key takeaway from this rule are
– The maximum airplanes the team can construct is 4 planes.
– The maximum number of flights the team can perform is 4 flights, two for time and two for distance. The last statement is based on the rest of the rules which are not mentioned here.
– The maximum number of flights per plane is two.
– Constructing planes or performing flights below the maximum allowed is acceptable.
