Distance travelled by paper planes

Description

A group from Queensland University of Technology conducted an experiment where they recorded the distance flown by paper aeroplanes. The experimenters used a sealed corridor at the University, and controlled the design of the aeroplane, the weight of the paper from which each aeroplace was constructed, and the angle of incidence at launch for each paper plane. The data and further notes for this experiment can be found at OzDASL - Australasian Data and Story Library.

Usage

planes.df

Format

A data.frame with 16 rows and 6 columns:

distance

Distance travelled in mm.

paper

Paper weight in grams per square metre (gsm), either 50 gsm or 80 gsm.

angle

Angle of launch, horizontal (0 degrees) or 45 degrees.

design

Design of the plane, either simple or advanced.

treat

The treatment number used in the experiment. There are eight combinations of the levels of the factors, so the treatment number corresponds to one of these unique combinations.

rep

Replicate number within treatment. Each treatment is repeated twice so rep is either 1 or 2.
