Ordinary copy paper of about 80 gsm work fine. 100 gsm might be even better.

What is a very quick science porject you can do?
One is to test wich kind of paper works best for paper airplanes. Constuction, computer or tissue paper. Fold each into a dart and the farthest plane has the best paper. This is very easy it only took me about three days to do.
Preserving paper keepsakes?
Try a product called "Preserve Your Memories II". It's wonderful (and I have no relationship to the maker!). It works on all kinds of paper as well as other media.
How do you get fishing bait in sims 3?
you can buy all kinds of food that can be used as bait, some works better than others
Why a heavier paper airplane fly further than a lighter paper airplane?
The answer to this question is a matter of some fairly simple physics which I will try to explain to you. First, you need to understand that most paper airplanes are not really airplanes. Airplanes fly because the shape of the wing produces lift; paper airplanes mostly fly as projectiles, meaning that they fly because you throw them. The first reason that the lighter airplane might not fly as far is in the design. Typically, the lighter paper airplane will have larger wings, and therefore, more drag. Since it is virtually impossible to make the paper airplane perfectly symmetrical, one of the wings has more drag which causes the airplane to spin and crash short of its maximum possible distance. The second reason is also related to the design. If you have a light airplane with more drag and a heavy airplane with less drag, the heavy airplane can fly much more easily. This is because the heavier airplane has less drag as well as more momentum to "push" through the air. On this note, a piece of paper crumpled into a ball will fly further than most paper airplanes I have seen just because is has lots of mass for the level of drag it induces. The crumpled piece of paper also will probably fly much straighter that the paper airplane too, just because it is fairly uniform in shape. At this point, we are completely ignoring lift; but at such a small scale with such light material, it works better that way due to the reasons above. Of course, if you put engines and control surfaces on the paper structure, you change the game entirely. Now it has to fly with lift instead of as a projectile otherwise it will crash because it has no control. This explains why real airplanes are not just big balls of metal.

What has the author Keith Ferris written?
Keith Ferris has written: 'The aviation art of Keith Ferris' -- subject(s): Airplanes, Airplanes in art, Catalogs, Pictorial works
Where can photography paper be purchased?
Photography paper is very common these days and can be found at specialist print shops and high street supermarkets alike. The paper has a much heavier weight than normal paper and has a gloss on it that works better with ink to produce a sharper image.
Who works in airplanes?
Aircraft are maintained by many avionics technicians,engine technicians and airframe technicians.
Are there any science projects that include airplanes?
Yes. You could see which design works best.
Why do jet airplanes often fiy in the stratosphere?
Efficiency. A jet engine works best in thin air.
Can paper works be plural?
yes
How do you do the paper brown with coffee?
you make coffee, without the sugar and the works... and you pour it in a pot, pan, or anything you can dip the paper in, after that you dip the piece of paper, and you let it dry, if you can hang it up to dry it works better, than you iron it, not too much, just enough to give it a darker color, and voila... the paper is brown and looking old, you can also burn the corners a little to give it a more drastic look.
