Brownie Fling Flyer Design Challenge Badge-Retires Sept 2027

This badge will Retire September 2027 and be replaced. New badges debut April 2027.

Work like an engineer to create a Fling Flyer, an airplane you'll make, and explore what keeps it and other things, such as birds, planes, and space ships, in the air.

1. Learn about forces that affect flight
2. Design and build a Fling Flyer
3. Test your Fling Flyer
4. Analyze and share your results
5. Brainstorm ways to improve your design

When you’ve earned this badge, you'll have learned about the forces that affect flight as you design, build, and test a Fling Flyer. You'll know how to design an investigation—and fine-tune your design after testing it, just like engineers.
