It would be higher due to being more aerodynamic.

What is the speed of an object that has reached terminal velocity?
The speed at terminal velocity depends on the mass and shape of the object. For example, a sheet of paper will have a very low terminal velocity; the terminal velocity for a man will be much higher.
What is the terminal velocity of a falling object on earth?
An object that has reached its terminal velocity is going at a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity. The rate of change is zero. Therefore, the acceleration is zero.
Why a sheet of paper fall slower than a coin under gravity through air?
A sheet of paper has a larger air resistance than a coin so the paper reaches its terminal velocity earlier than the coin.
What is the terminal velocity of a falling bullet?
The Terminal velocity depends on a few properties of the object falling and the medium that the object is falling through. 1. The mass of the object F=m*a where in this case a = gravity A balloon the size of a bowling ball and a bowling ball do not have the same terminal velocity due to the mass of each. The balloon is a very small mass and the resulting force due to gravity is also very small. Therefore, the wind friction required to counter the gravitational force is very small. The bowling ball has a rather large mass in comparison and the wind friction required to counter its gravitational force is large, so the falling/terminal velocity is much higher. 2. The shape of the object A flat piece of paper will float down more slowly than a piece of paper that is crumpled up in a ball. 3. The orientation of the object Facing one way the object may present a larger surface area to the oncoming wind slowing it down. Facing another way, a smaller surface area may be presented to the wind allowing the object to fall faster. 4. The viscosity of the medium the object is falling through Oil is less dense than water, but it is more viscous and objects fall/sink slower through oil than through water. There may be a couple of others. So what is falling through what medium? Old answer: 120 mph
How would you redesign your paper airplane to make it fly faster?
You can get a plane to fly faster (for a given force applied) by decreasing drag, e.g. reducing the width of the fuselage or wings (the latter also reduces lift). If you add weight to a paper plane, especially at the nose, you can get it to fly faster for a given acceleration (i.e. the throwing motion) -- the additional weight will increase the speed gained as gravity drags the plane down, because the air resistance is a function of the area, not the weight. A metal plane will fall faster (and with a higher terminal velocity) than a paper one if they have the same resistance area.

Why does a crumbled piece of paper hit the ground before a flat piece of paper?
The flat paper has more surface area, allowing it to catch more air and float. The crumpled paper on the other hand, does not, because it doesn't have as much surface area to spread the air out.
What is the name of the computer terminal which gives paper printout?
Hard copy terminal
How do you find velocity of a paper airplane?
Paper airplane's velocity can be measured as any other object can be determined by measuring its displacement over time. In other words, time the glide and measure the distance. Then divide the distance by the elapsed time to get the average velocity of the flight.

What is the recommended pellet for a crosman 600 in 22 caliber?
There is "No" recommended pellet for the model 600. Each pellet has it's particular function. "Waddcutters" are for shooting at targets they make a clean hole in the paper. Hollowpoint pellets are used for rodent control, they mushroom on impact and make a clean kill. Pointed are primarily for distance shooting and Domed are designed as a universal all around pellet.
Why do tiny paper copters fall slowly?
Becuase this tiny paper copter has a very low terminal velocity. The force of gravity on the paper copter is very small, so it does not have to fall that fast to reach an equal amount of air resistance. The force of gravity is equal to the force of air resistance on the copter while falling very slowly, so it cannot accelerate any more, making it fall slowly.
