Even though paper airplanes appear exceedingly simple, what makes them fly (or fly well) is not so simple.  Since you said you are in the 8th grade, I looked at some books on amazon....  you might consider

2011-07-24 Super cruise:

Nothing comes to mind specifically....  to achieve super cruise performance, integrating the load (stores) of a fighter has meant storing in cavities such as to reduce the configuration drag...  this also

2011-07-23 Super cruise:

Super cruise is sustained supersonic flight with a useful load without afterburner...    mj

2011-07-19 Increasing Thrust:

While changing the area ratio of the nozzle does improve nozzle performance under differing conditions, basically this is most important for when the afterburner is on...  (afterburners use a tremendous

2011-06-07 fluid dynamics from flow of oil:

I would, yes.... but generally I am a (computational) aerodynamicist...  so I predominantly work with gases ...  really don't delve much into the more exotic/non-Newtonian fluids...  basically air, water
