we're doing a project about the first flyers and since that one was the first to actually fly, we want to construct it, but we don't have the real dimensions. it's been 2 months. we're constantly searching and we're not getting anything. PLEASE we need some help!!

Since this is a school project, your teacher probably wants to you to learn more than just how to build one.  \n\nLearn to use the library.  Learn to use internet search engines.  Learn to spell what you want to build.  Learn to be self reliant.

Scale can be very very difficult to gauge when looking at objects in the sky.  With no frame of reference, it is nearly impossible to determine accurate wingspans, body lengths or other measurements.  Perhaps the birds were merely closer to you than you thought.\n\nFrom the colour, I might guess that you have seen a Steller's Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus pelagicus), which is one of the largest eagles with a wingspan up to about 8 feet.  Here are some pages with pictures:\n\nhttp://epotapov.chat.ru/sse.htm \n\nhttp://www.mangoverde.com/birdsound/picpages/pic30-41-2.html\n\nHowever, the Steller's Eagle breeds in Siberia, and parts of Japan, China and the coast of Alaska, so it is unlikely that you would see it in Wisconsin.\n\nAs far as other people having seen Thunderbirds, I know there was some alleged video footage taken in the late 70s that purported to be of some gigantic, black birds of prey, but experts who viewed the footage all agreed that it was actually common turkey vultures.\n\nThere was another gigantic bird that was allegedly shot by a group of hunters in about 1886 in Texas, and a photograph of the bird nailed to a barn showed a 15 foot wingspan.  The photo was supposed to have been printed in a newspaper (the accounts vary on which paper), however no one has ever been able to find a copy of this paper or the original photograph.\n\nThe largest flying birds known today are the wandering albatross, Andean condor and California condor.  The albatross has a wingspan about 12 feet, and the others are about 10 feet.  The largest eagle is the harpy eagle of South America, which can be up to about 9 feet wingspan.  Those are freakin' big birds.  The harpy eagle can carry off large howler monkeys and three-toed sloths.\n\nThe largest flying bird ever known was a gigantic condor-like bird of the American Southwest called Teratornis with a wingspan up to 23 feet (about the size of most WWII fighter planes).  They went extinct about 10,000 years ago (along with the mammoths and other megafauna they probably scavenged).\n\nThere have been eyewitness accounts of giant birds, usually dark and often predatory in appearance.  They mostly come from the American Southwest, Africa and Australia.  There is virtually no physical evidence around any of these sightings however.\n\nIf you do see the birds again, try to get some pictures!  Perhaps you have seen some surviving remnant population of Teratornis!

You'll get the same strength(within reason) and the same dimensions using this method.I can't believe noone has answered this question yet.Good luck on the other site!

If you need that much information, enter "airplane" in the Yahoo search engine. It will be much faster and more reliable than anything you get here.

Very Nobel interest. If you can build it then let me know. Here are the tips from me. Use FM band to for the controls, if you can have a digital control system then you can operate that with a high and low pulse from the ground. And if its a toy plane then there shouldn't be more then 3 or 4 controls which should be easier to design. contact me let me know the further update on your this project and any assistance.

Alot of people pinned down 4 dimensions pretty good, but nobody has explained the dimensions beyond 4 very well, except to say that they exist. Let me take a shot:\n\nOPE did the best job of explaining the first 4 dimensions, I'll summarize and then move into the other ones.\n\n0D: Imagine a point, the smallest little dot with no length. There is only one point in this dimension, 0.\n1D: Imagine a line that can have any length in 1 direction but no length in any other direction. We can describe a point on this line with one coordinate, x.\n2D: Imagine a sheet of paper that is infinitely thin (you hold it sideways you see nothing). We can locate a point on this plane by (x,y).\n3D: This one's easy. You find a point in 3D space by (x,y,z)\n4D: Harder. In 3D, your point cannot change. You cannot move around because in order to change position you need one more dimension, time. For a point to move from one place to another (dx,dy,dz) it requires a change in time (dt). To locate this point now you need to define its position as (x,y,z,t) or else you won't find it. If you imagine your point is a person you want to meet, you would have to be told where in space (x,y,z) they will be and when (t) they will be there, or else you are not guaranteed to find them (unless you both have cell phones).\n5D: The hardest. Go back to 0D (a single point). If we were able to shrink down to the size of this point, instead of seeing a point, we would see a tiny circle. So if you were trying to locate a point in 5D, you could not locate it exactly unless you placed it in (x,y,z,t) and w, it's location on that circle. So you now have (w,x,y,z,t). The radius of this 5th dimension is so small that we can't see it, but we should be able to perceive its effects when our technology improves. It makes a lot of sense mathematically because it explains why we can't explain gravity at tiny (quantum) levels. The math doesn't work unless we add dimensions and wrap strings around them. Note that dimensions 5 and up have a property called compactification. That means that anything operating on the compactified radii of these dimensions moves in a complete circle, always returning to its original position. The radii are so small that we cannot percieve a change in position at all; a particle changing position along one of these dimensions seems to not move to us.\n6D and up: Very hard to imagine. Your point can now be found on two circles. The easier way to think of this is a point on the surface of a sphere, which will give it two coordinates on a tiny round surface (like longitude and latitude on the Earth's surface). Now you can add as many compactified dimensions as mathematics permits given whatever theories you are trying to incorporate. Your compactified radii can be given upper and lower limits to allow them to be plausible.\n\nI saw some people say infinite dimensions and another say 27. The reigning theory has 11 dimensions. 27 dimensions comes from a part of string theory that claims that matter does not exist and that there exists a fantasy particle with very strange properties, called a tachyon. This theory ties in to the most prominent theory, M-theory, which says only 11 dimensions is needed to explain everything.

Ooh, calculus... well, maybe.\n\nActually not.  The radius five minutes after is 15meters, right?  So the perimeter is 2πr = 30π\n\nIf the seagull is swimming at (-12, 25) then the radius is determined by the Pythogorean theorem, which is:\n\nr = √(x² + y²) = √(144 + 625) = 27.73 meters\n\nHow long does it take for the radius to get to 27.73 meters?  Divide by 3 ... so about 9.24 minutes.\n\nHere I thought you were asking for the equation of the ship's motion if it's moving steadily in a circular pattern where the radius increases at 3m/minute.  That would have been an interesting problem.

This website may help, not only does it have a picture, but it has step by step:)\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/astronomy/solarsystemmodel/\nI would use the foam balls instead of the tag paper.
