The basic origami model was varied to test the effect of larger wing sizes. The wing loading was reduced because the weight of each model was held constant.
All models rotated and autorotated. By dropping the first and last members of the series from the same height simultaneously, it was determined that the model with the larger wing size rotated more slowly and fell more slowly than the model with the smaller wing size. This probably would tell me something about the difference between a bumblebee's and a Monarch butterfly's ability to fly if I could think of what to measure and how to measure it. Lift probably has something to do with this. Videotaping the different models falls would be helpful, too.
