Rubber powered airplanes fall into three types.
stash a small engine into it
Powered or non-powered?
Rubber band powered model airplanes fly by converting the potential energy stored in the stretched rubber band into kinetic energy, propelling the plane forward. As the rubber band unwinds, it turns a propeller, generating thrust that pushes the airplane through the air. The wings create lift as the plane moves forward, allowing it to stay aloft.

Orville Wright was the first to fly a engine-powered airplane. He flew a small bi-plane and flew for a few minutes. He and his brother Wilbur Wright developed this airplane.
.The first person to successfully fly a powered airplane was Orville Wright, on September 17, 1903. It only lasted 12 seconds, but that was long enough to prove that the Wright Brothers, Orviille and Wilbur, had succeeded in inventing the first successful airplane.
Potential to kinetic to electric energy conversion takes place when a rubber powered aeroplane flies.
Orville and Wilbur Wright flew the first powered aircraft at Kitty Hawk.
They make history.
No, an airplane requires both wings to provide lift and stability. Additionally, the propeller is powered by the engine, which would likely be on the missing wing. Without both wings and the engine, the airplane would not be able to maintain controlled flight.
Just adding weight will not make a paper airplane fly farther. However, adding weight in exactly the right places can make it fly farther, by improving its balance and stability.
Thrust and Lift. Gravity and drag make planes more difficult to fly.
