The records for paper airplane flight are measured in the time aloft. These competitions usually pit "wider" paper airplanes against each other rather than the "dart" planes a lot of us made when we first began to construct them. It's kinda hard to figure out how "far" one of these world record planes "went" in the course of its flight into the record books. The planes are launched vertically, the idea in competition being to get as much altitude as possible and rely on the lift of the broad wings to make for a long, slow return glide. If you just want to cover absolute measured distance across a flat course like, say the way they measure the discus throw in the Olympics, the dart shape will get farther from the point of origin than a wide-winged glider because the wide plane will not hold a straight course very well. The wide wings would have to be absolutely identical to keep the plane on a linear course, and that's nigh on impossible with a paper airplane. By the way, the world record (measured in time aloft) plane can be seen by going to the sight hosted by - who else? - the world record holder himself, Ken Blackburn. There are a number of shapes shown and discussed on the site, and not just his wide-winged flyer. Got a couple of links for ya. Surf on over, even if just for the pics. It'll be worth your time.

The back bodice of a dress that you are about to sew is too tight has a dart you want to make it larger should you increase the fabric on one of the sides or not sew the dart?
You should increase the fabric at both side seams, not eliminate the dart. The dart gives the bodice its shape, like an hourglass. Without the dart, the bodice's shape would be more tubular.

What shape is a dart?
The most common usage of the term is in garment making; it is a tool used to shape material. Various wedges and shaping tools are used when creating new patterns and they are typically named for the shape they resemble. In dart throwing it is a dart that has been shaped with a tapered end; though since the tapered end shape is fairly common for throwing darts they are usually just called darts.
