Hammerhead. The Hammerheads (based on a desing by Eiji Nakamura) are easy to fold schoolyard paper airplanes that the kid in you wants. Easy to fold, easy to fly for almost immediate gratification and capable of fast flights.
A variation of a classic scoolyard desing, this dart's tail adds stability and flying variety.
This compact version of the classic has a tail for horizontal stability, extra strong wings and is a high speed flyer.
Start with medium letter size paper (8.5 inches x 11 inches). Experiment with the tail size taking care not to make it too big the first time.
The Throw - A good straight flyer when adjusted right, this plane should be launched level or at a slight up angle. Fly with a medium to hard "push" throw. It if spins, try adjusting the back of the tail. A paper clip on the nose adds speed with a large dihedral angle. Paper FoldingHammerhead How to fold, How to fly
