  • Why Paper Airplanes Fly…and Why They Crash [187]
    Did you ever wonder how a bird or an airplane stays in the air? Studying two sheets of paper can help you understand. A wadded-up piece of paper drops to the ground when thrown, while another piece folded into a paper airplane floats gracefully across the room. The reason for this has to do with the forces of gravity and lift. GRAVITY AND LIFT ... (read more)

  • Paper Airplanes: Basic theory [180]
    Force Balancing Unlike conventional airplanes, paper airplanes are essentially gliders because they do not have engines to propel them forward in a horizontal flight. Paper airplane depends on its weight, thanks to gravity, to keep it moving in a downward sloping path. All together, there are three forces, weight, lift and drag, acting on a paper... (read more)

  • How to Make Paper Airplanes [168]
    This fun hobby can provide many hours of entertainment. Fold some paper, you've got a plane Perhaps even before aviation existed people have been making paper airplanes. They use a simple construction technique that can be done by hand without tools - folding. The number of paper airplane designs are limited only by the maker's imagination. Some pl... (read more)

  • How I Set the Guinness World Record (by Ken Blackburn) [164]
    Most people do not think they can set a world record. I know. I used to think that way, too. I started making paper airplanes just for the fun of it when I was about seven years old. Over the years, I improved my planes and eventually landed in the Guinness Book of World Records. I have always loved airplane, and as a kid I made lots of model ai... (read more)

  • History of Paper Airplanes [158]
    It was during WWII that materials were in short for toys. The materials that were available had restricted use. These restrictions ruled out metal toys, thus all that was available was paper and wood. This led to airplanes as well as other toys that were normally made from metals to be prepared with paper or wood. There was also a shortage of in... (read more)

  • Paper Airplane Science [144]
    Most elementary students do not have a good grasp of the scientific method or how to set-up an experiment, collect data, test a hypothesis, or organize the information after an experiment. Children can do real science by asking simple 'what it questions' that can be tested. for example my son, David, wondered what type of popcorn popped best. We e... (read more)

  • What Makes Your Paper Plane Fly? [142]
    If you imagine all of the technology that goes into making one of the big jetliners fly, you can apply much of that same knowledge to making your next paper airplane soar through the air. Whether it is a Boeing 747 or your paper dart plane the same forces are applied to each of them, and the same theories apply to making it fly. Lift This is what t... (read more)

  • The importance of fine-tuning [142]
    At this point, with your plane folded, the airfoil set, and any warp removed from the wings, there is less than a 50/50 chance of the plane flying well. Why? All airplanes need a little fine-tuning (some need a lot) to get them to fly properly. Pitch (Elevator) Adjustments Adjusting the pitch is the most important thing you can do to prevent...

  • A brief history of paper models [142]
    Paper models of all types are popular in many countries. Called Paper-Card Modeling in Europe, it spans the range from simple folded-paper darts, to complex three-dimensional mod-els of airplanes, ships and buildings. During WWII, all materials were in short supply. Those that were available had restricted use. Obviously, toys were at the bottom... (read more)

  • Few Paper Airplanes Tips from Ken Blackburn [139]
    1. Aircraft stability (all airplanes) is improved when weight is added to the front of the plane. 2. Generally the farthest flying paper airplanes are the standard pointed 'dart' types. For extra distance try adding weight to the nose, such as a paper clip, or rolled or folded paper. 3. Wing span is the thing that really improves gliding dist... (read more)
