Our aim is to take increase toy paratrooper flight time with the parachutes provided and find suitable alternatives to reduce its descent through the most feasible means. The justification for increased flight time being if we were to take these model paratroopers to represent actual paratroopers' lower descent speeds will provide safer landings and more maneuverable descents. We learned through observation that our paratrooper's initial descent is practically freefall and extremely erratic which gives us our main point of optimization. Our only variables which we can alter are wind resistance provided by said parachute, elevation, conditions(temperature) within a margin, and weight. We will make alterations where it is possible to reach our goal of a practical lower descent speed and thereby an increase in descent time and more stable, safe flight for our toy paratroopers. Need five whys about information?
