Playing with paper airplanes has always been an enjoyable activity for young and old. The paper airplane is said to have been invented by the Chinese in about 400 BC. It's been a great educational toy ever since then! Even the Wright Brothers used paper airplanes to build models of their first actual airplanes.This paper airplane (pictured above) is simple to make and it performs better than any other paper plane I've made. No previous paper airplane experience is needed. This instructable will guide you through the steps of how to fold it, and then modify it so you can make your own great design! Unfold the wings again to reveal your finished product.
Now you know how to make the best paper airplane known to man!If your plane loses balance while flying, try re-folding the wings and wing tips so they are exactly even with each other.If you'd like to modify the design, try making the plane with different sized wings, or with bigger folded-up wing tips. Bigger wings are better for gliding, while smaller wings are good for accuracy. You can also put a paper clip on the nose for better accuracy. Make the design yours, have have fun!
A contest-winning paper glider. Aerodynamics General aerodynamicsPaper aircraft are a class of model plane, and so do not experience aerodynamic forces differently from other types of flying model. However, their construction material produces a number of dissimilar effects on flight performance in comparison with aircraft built from different materials.In general, there are four forces that act on the paper aircraft while it is in flight:., which keeps the plane moving forward;., acting on horizontal surface areas that lifts the plane upward;., which counteracts lift and pulls the plane downward; and., which counteracts thrust and reduces the plane's forward speed.Altogether, the aerodynamic forces co-interact, creating that amplifies small changes in the surface of the paper aircraft.
Modifications can be made to most paper airplanes by bending, curving or making small cuts in the trailing edges of wings and in the airplane's tail, if it has one. An example of an asymmetrical custom paper airplane, which exhibits large due to unbalanced forces on the wings.
The flight path assumes a somewhat shape, before descending in a rapid counter-clockwise spiral, as viewed from behind.It is possible to create freestyle versions of paper aircraft, which often exhibit an unusual flight path compared to more traditional paper darts, jets and gliders. Another propulsion technique, creating high launch velocities, involves the use of for 'catapults'. Involves the continuous of paper airplane designs (such as the, follow foil and paper airplane surfer ) by on the edge of a sheet of cardboard.Space flightThere may one day be a. A prototype passed a durability test in a wind tunnel in March 2008, and Japan's space agency considered a launch from the. However, the plane developers, Takuo Toda (see above) and fellow enthusiast Shinji Suzuki, an aeronautical engineer and professor at, postponed the attempt after acknowledging it would be all but impossible to track them during the planes' week-long journey to Earth, assuming any of them survived the searing descent.
The developers were hoping that China or Russia will back further efforts on the project. In February 2011, 200 planes were launched from a net underneath a twenty-three miles above Germany.
The planes were designed to maintain stable flight even in gusts up to 100 mph. The planes were equipped with memory chips from which data can be uploaded.
The planes were found in other places in Europe, North America and even Australia. See also.

Paper airplanes have fascinated children and adults alike around the globe for generations. A simple toy to some, an aeronautics research tool to others, paper airplanes can be folded into a variety of designs, from basic darts and gliders to intricate stunt planes and World War II airplanes. Turning paper into a flying machine may seem simple, but paper airplanes use the same principles of flight as airplanes. Whether they are made to set a world record or design a better airplane, paper airplanes can be educational, interesting and fun. InventorThe invention of the paper airplane is mystery, but Leonardo Di Vinci is often given credit for the feat. Fun FactAccording to the Paper Aircraft Association, a paper airplane thrown in space will not fly; it will float in a straight line. Unless it hits an object, it could literally float forever (see Resources).
WingspanThe record wingspan of a paper airplane is 40 feet and 10 inches. The craft flew over 114 feet before crashing into a wall. EducationScientists, engineers and students use paper airplanes to study aerodynamics. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sent a paper airplane to space on a space shuttle.
ShapesPaper airplanes can be made in many shapes. According to world record holder Ken Blackburn, airplanes in the shape of an 'X,' a hoop and a 'futuristic spacecraft' can all be made to fly (see Resources).
WeatherThe humidity outside can affect the performance of a paper airplane thrown inside.
This paper airplane—the Tumblewing—is a type a walkalong glider. The authors note that it’s designed to fall steadily forward and down, in a spiral. If you walk too fast, the Tumblewing will fly over your shoulder; if you walk too slowly, it will fall to the ground. So flying it takes a bit of practice. Would Orville and Wilbur have headed back to the bicycle shack if their first attempt failed?!? No!VERDICT: It took us a couple of practice sessions to get the hang of the Tumblewing.
Our first attempt fizzled because we used the wrong size cardboard. (Also, our boss told us to get back to work.) With the correct size cardboard, it was much easier to keep the Tumblewing aloft, and keeping it in sustained flight was just a matter of practicing.MATERIALS:The glider pattern (shown below)8 1⁄2' x 11' printer paperPage from a phone bookScotch tape2' x 2' or larger piece of cardboard (at least as big as the top of a large pizza box)TOOLS:ScissorsPrinter (if you’re downloading the digital image)HOW TO BUILD IT. STEP TWO: Remove a nonessential page from a phone book and lay the pattern on top of it. Phone book paper is just the right weight for this experiment—tissue paper is too flimsy and regular paper is too heavy.Using 2 small pieces of Scotch tape, tape the ends of the pattern to the phone book paper. Using scissors, cut around the pattern to get a rectangle of phone book paper with the corners cut off, but leave two little points where the tape attaches the pattern to the paper.
You’ll cut off those points shortly, but for now, you want to keep the pattern and the phone book paper sandwiched together so you can fold them both together along the lines shown on the pattern.STEP THREE: Fold both ends up 90 degrees, about 1 1/2' in from the end (where the dotted lines are on the pattern). STEP EIGHT: As soon as you release the glider, begin to walk forward slowly while holding the 2' x 2' cardboard in front of you. This will create an updraft under the Tumblewing that will keep it aloft for as long as you keep walking forward.
If you turn left or right, the plane will, too. By walking in a large circle or figure 8, you can keep the plane flying in a relatively small space for a while.NOTE: It can take practice to get the hang of it. One common mistake is to give in to the temptation to tilt the cardboard at more of an angle to try to “lift” the glider from below.
The cardboard needs to be close to vertical to get the necessary slope lift. If your glider is dropping too fast, walk faster, don’t tilt the cardboard back.
Also, if you find your Tumblewing turning on its own to one side or the other, check to make sure the ends are as straight and vertical as possible. If they angle in or out, they will make the plane veer to one side.Text and images reproduced with the permission of Chronicle Books. Spolszczenie nfs mw 2005 chomikuj.
