Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The level of wind encountered is an external factor that is not controlled by the person testing the paper airplane. Exogenous factors are outside factors that can affect the outcome of an experiment. The weight of the paper used, the ratio of wingspan to plane length, the height of the body of the plane, and the number of folds in the wings are all endogenous factors that can be controlled or manipulated by the person creating the paper airplane.
