    Chris, which part of flight is the project about? It's a big topic, which could mean:

    How one learns to fly a plane.
    What makes a plane fly.
    The history of flight.
    What's it like to pilot an aircraft?
    etc.

    If you could narrow it down we could help a lot more.
    The opinions and statements of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.

    Well,I pretty much want to learn all about all the forces and stabilities. I already know the names and a lot about the stabilities.

    I just need to learn how the three stabilities are created for the plane. And perhaps some more on the four forces.

    I'm only 11
    I'm only 31. Never let someone put you down just because of your age. Being bright and inquisitive is far more important than being smart. Someone (James Thurber) once put it this way: "It's often better to know some of the questions than to have all of the answers."

    Here you go: http://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/5-8/features/what-is-aerodynamics-58.html
    This should help somewhat with the aerodynamics questions.

    For stability: http://www.airplanedesign.info/19.htm

    If you need anything else or have any other questions, please let me know.
    Unfortunately in science what you believe is irrelevant.

    Good afternoon, Chris,

    You may also want to look at the NASA Glenn Research Center's Beginner's Guide to Aeronautics.

    Have a good day!
