If you are speaking of a paper glider, obviously you want wings that are large for maximum lift. Many record setting paper planes are made using a square shaped wing that allows the wing to have maximum surface area to maintain lift but which is not flimsy, so as the plane's stability in flight is maintained. There are two sites below worth your consideration. The first is a brief instructional on making a highly effective paper glider. The second is the homepage of Dr. Ken Blackburn who holds the world record for time aloft by a paper airplane. He offers several patterns for public use.

How long can glider airplanes fly for?
I think it depends on the wind. If there is not a lot of wind the glider won't fly for that long but if there is a lot of wind the glider will fly for longer. I think it depends on the wind.

What happens when old female sugar glider and young male sugar glider breed?

Is the Greater Glider the largest glider on earth?
Yes. The Greater Glider has a head and body length of 35 - 45cm, while its long tail measures another 45 - 60cm. It should be noted that Wikipedia incorrectly lists the Yellow-bellied Glider as the largest glider.
What was the size of the 1902 glider of the wright brothers?
It was a man-rated glider, 16 feet and 1 inch long, 8 feet and 1 inch tall, with a wingspan of 32 feet and 1 inch (these odd dimensions resulted from actual construction of the diagrammed 16 x 32 x 8 foot design).
How can gliders fly without engine?
Gliders don't have an engine. They need help to get up in the air but then it's up to the wing design and the air flow to keep them flying. One way that gliders get up into the air is called an aero-tow. A rope connected to a glider is attached to a regular plane. The glider pilot releases the rope when the glider is at the right altitude. Then the glider changes direction away from the airplane and flies on its own. Another way to launch a glider is called winch launching. The glider is attached by a long cable to a winch. A winch is a machine that's used for lifting things. The winch is activated and pulls the glider until it takes off. Then the pilot releases the cable and flies off without any further help. Once the glider takes off, the wings are the most important part. They keep the glider up in the air by creating "lift" so that the weight of the glider won't drag it down.

How long does a sugar glider's tail get?
Around 4-5 inches
What equipment do they use to measure long distance?
An odometer for measuring long walkable distance. Long distances on the earth are probably best measured by geographical positioning systems (GPS).
