Validation of Lift Modeling Accuracy in Python Through Paper Airplane Flight Behavior Analysis

Abstract

Python is a widely utilized programming language for numerical analysis and simulation. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency and accuracy of lift modeling using Python by comparing numerically simulated flight behavior of a paper airplane with its actual observed performance. The simulation incorporates the effects of lift and gravity, while the real-world flight trajectory is approximated through curve fitting. The degree of similarity between the two results is assessed to validate the numerical modeling approach.
