Paper Airplanes

Take a piece of computer paper, and fold it hot dog style. Unfold and fold the top corners to the crease you just made. No fold the new top corners in. I should look like two stretched out triangles. Fold it in half so the triangles are not seen. I now should look like one triangle. Now fold one side down so it make two smaller triangles. Do the same on the other side. Bring the wings up a bit and throw!

you have to turn one flap up and the other one down to get your paper airplane to do a barell roll

u don't because if it's made out of paper it's not made out of popsicle sticks.

a paper clip wheighs about 3 kilograms

The wing of the paper airplane can make it fly far. For a glider, make a large wingspan and light, evenly balanced weight. Also, the wider the wings are the easier it will be to gain lift and the more narrower the wings are the harder it will be to stay in the air longer.

Depends on where you launched it from. If you threw it from ground level and it landed on ground of equal height, then I'd say 15 seconds, 30 at the absolute max. If you launched it from, say, 30,000 feet, the altitude at which jumbo jets fly, then who knows how long it could stay up there, let alone where it will land.

The lift of the paper airplane is created by the wings and the thirst that you provide with your arm. Gravity is the force that brings the plane down and keeps it moving once the energy you provided with your arm has dissipated. The downward motion of the airplane caused by gravity keeps it moving forward which allows the wings to continue to provide lift.

Because the larger/longer the wings are the more lift it recives. And the more lift it recives, the further it goes.

The kind of paper chosen to make a paper airplane affects its weight. The best paper for making airplane is the light but firm paper. Firm paper prevents the paper plane from crumbling in the wind.

Well, It depends on the density of the paper, the wings, the hull, the design, the aerodynamics, and the lift it creates. One easy one is just to make the basic paper airplane, and experiment from there. But here are three good designs: The dragon, The champ, and nick's plane.

That very much depends on what you want it to do..

For a graceful kind of glider I would recommend the Floating Paper airplane.

For a fast kind of dart I would recommend the Bottlenose Paper airplane.

For a good all-rounder I would recommend the Rapier paper airplane.

Instructions are linked below for making these.

Yes, it can. Weight, number of folds, and wingspan are all factors in making a paper airplane fly farther. A long-distance paper airplane (glider) should have large wings, a small fuselage, and evenly distributed (but also light) weight. It should be held and thrown from the center of gravity.

The range of a paper airplane varies by model.

Printer paper is generally more favorable because it tends to be more rigid and retains the folds better.

hardest as in most complicated? or as in most solid?

use regular typing paper and a small paper clip or two. put one at the nose of the plane and one underneath it where you hold it to keep it together. to learn how to make different types of airplanes (ex. ones that do tricks) go on youtube or type in "how to make paper airplanes" on Google.
