What is my question: 1. How to make a Spitfire model? <span style="background-color: #df3434; color: #ffa400; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. How do they fly? <span style="background-color: #df3434; color: #ffa400; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. What gives them the lift to fly?

<span style="background-color: #df3434; color: #ffa400; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">What resources do I need: <span style="background-color: #df3434; color: #ffa400; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Card, Sellotape and scissors.

<span style="background-color: #df3434; color: #ffa400; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">What do I already know? <span style="background-color: #df3434; color: #ffa400; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">The model can't have straight wings because then it doesn't have any lift. <span style="background-color: #df3434; color: #ffa400; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">A good model would have a round body.

<span style="background-color: #df3434; color: #ffa400; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">What do I need to find out:

<span style="background-color: #2c7bda; color: #eb8f44; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Where do planes get their lift from:
<span style="background-color: #2c7bda; color: #eb4447; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">A plane engine pushes a plane forward fast. Air rushes over it's wings, and the top of the wing is curved making the air move faster over the top of the wing. This creates low pressure and it sucks the plane up. Under the wing is slower air so it creates high pressure, that high pressure pushes the plane up.

<span style="background-color: #c72121; color: #e0740b; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Here is a picture to explain it better:

<span style="background-color: #4e1298; color: #f2ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;">When was the Spitfire invented and why it was made:
<span style="background-color: #000000; color: #808080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">The Spitfire plane was invented in 1938 by R.J. Mitchell. R.J. Mitchell died of cancer before World War 2 began. The Spitfire was made to fight the German soldiers in World War 2.

<span style="background-color: #0014ff; color: #f21c1c; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 120%;"> How fast the spitfire could fly:
The highest speed that the spitfire plane can reach is 606 kilometres per hour. What made it go that fast, is it's propeller and it's powerful engines.

= Where was the spitfire made: = The Spitfire was made in England and other parts of Great Britain.

Here is a video of a Spitfire:
