It is important to hit your target when you are dropping packages from the air. If you don’t hit the target, the package will be harder to find for the retrievers, and you’ll have to give them the new coordinates to where the package landed. To tell people where the package has been dropped, you have to name the distance and direction of the new location relative to the target, also known as the displacement. Displacement is a type of vector. A target should not be moving, because then it cannot be used as a reference point for where you want to drop it.
When designing an airdrop, there are many important things to account for. One necessary thing to consider is the speed at which that the airdrop will be falling. If you don’t know the speed of the airdrop, it could end up accelerating faster than intended and break on impact with the ground. To calculate the average speed of an object, you must divide the total distance traveled by an object by the total time it took to travel that distance. Even though you can find the average speed of the airdrop, it doesn’t account for the acceleration or deceleration of the object as it falls. To calculate the acceleration of an object, you have to subtract the initial velocity of the airdrop from the final velocity of the airdrop, and then divide that velocity value by the total time it took to reach the ground. With all these factors kept in mind, when designing an airdrop you would want to find the best way to control the speed and slow the descent of the airdrop. One way to slow the airdrop is by adding a parachute. Another way to slow an airdrop is to make it wider, so the mass of the airdrop is not to condensed. If you cannot control the speed, you can add shock absorbers to the sides to lessen the impact.

Four forces occur during an airdrop. The force that causes the airdrop container to accelerate downward is gravity. Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other. The other three forces that may act upon an airdrop container are air resistance, tension, and compression. Air resistance occurs when an object is falling, it slows an objects descent. During an airdrop, air resistance occurs when the parachute catches air. Compression is an elastic force that squeezes or pushes matter together. During an airdrop, compression occurs when it hits the ground, the drop folds into itself. Tension is an elastic force that stretches matter. During an airdrop, tension occurs in the strings of the parachute holding the package.
