Research
Here is a list of websites used which consisted of pertinent data to the SRP.
NASA - What Is Aerodynamics?
http://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/k-4/stories/what-is-aerodynamics-k4.html#.VTi7TCGqpBc
On this website, information on what aerodynamics is and what makes an airplane fly is shown. The inclusion of examples are included to support the concept of the "Four Forces of Flight". An example include: "A kite needs a lot less upward push than a jumbo jet" this is showing how the amount of lift needed is dependent on the size of the object. The website also include a thorough explanation on the four forces of flight which is: weight, lift, drag and thrust.
Smithsonian National National Air and Space Museum - Forces of Flight

Similar to the NASA's "What is Aerodynamics?", this website provides a walk through of what the "Forces of Flight" is. "When an airplane flies, the wing is designed to provide enough Lift to overcome the airplane's Weight, while the engine provides enough Thrust to overcome Drag and move the airplane forward. And the Thrust of a rocket engine overcomes the weight of the object to move the rocket forward." This is the data in which I found was useful for my research on aerodynamics and the "Four Forces of Flight".
KIDSPOT - 10 of the best paper plane designs
http://www.kidspot.com.au/kids-activities-and-games/Activity-ideas+30/10-of-the-best-paper-plane-designs+12392.htm
The paper aeroplane designs in this experiment is based on the designs in this website. I found 4 different types of aeroplanes, which are different is shape, size, and design. The aeroplanes I chose were the "Dart paper plane", "Nakamura Lock", "Sleek Traditional" and the "Mighty mite". Although the "sleek traditional" and "dart paper plane" model are very similar, the "Dart paper plane" slightly thinner and narrower. I wanted to use these two very similar designs to test whether the statement "the narrower the plane the less drag it will have, therefore enabling it to fly at a longer distance with the same thrust" is true. In which the statement is the essence to the experiment conducted.
Wikipedia Aerodynamics
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerodynamics
Wikipedia provides an abundance of information on aerodynamics but the information may not be accurate. I used this website as an additional source to clarify what aerodynamics is. The website was not very useful as the terms used was very scientific.
