Paper Airplanes
Many school children and many adults have made at least one paper airplane. For a traditional plane, a single sheet of paper is symmetrically folded until it resembles a very pointy airplane. For those that take things a little farther, more sheets of paper are sometimes added. The folds and designs become more complex.

The longest duration for a paper airplane to stay aloft indoors is how many seconds?
A paper airplane by ken Blackburn is the longest to stay aloftin 27.9 secs. but a walkalong glider flies long too but it is not a paper airplane because you still need to cut tape and fold.
WHAT ARE THE TIPS IN AJUSTING PAPER AIRPLANE?
PUT THE WINGS UPWARD
BEND THE ELEVATORS UP
PUT SOME WINGLETS
How does weight effect flight of a glider?
Weight significantly affects the flight of a glider by influencing its lift-to-drag ratio and overall performance. A heavier glider requires more lift to maintain altitude, which can lead to a steeper descent rate if not enough lift is generated. Increased weight can also reduce the glider's ability to soar effectively, as it may struggle to take advantage of rising air currents. Consequently, managing weight is crucial for optimizing a glider's efficiency and flight duration.
The world's farthest paper airplane was made from paper used in Origami, as per standard for the record. Joe Ayoob holds the world record at 226 feet and 10 inches.
Can an airplane fly without a tail?
There are a number of aircraft that are designed without tail assemblies as we know them. As for aircraft designed with a tail assembly that may lose it in flight, that's problematic for the flight crew, but there have been instances of portions of tail assemblies being lost due to structural failure or accident that have managed to successfully land.
Check out the link below for more information and pictures.
An aircraft is designed to fly with the tail. That's where the horizontal and vertical stability/movement comes from. The only aircraft I know of that can fly without the vertical tail is the B52. As far as commercial airliners go you need all the controlling surfaces. You can look past crash history to find plenty of examples where aircraft have lost control and crashed. Alaska, Jet Blue, etc.
I'm an airline pilot and trust me when I say that if we lose the tail it's over. However rest assured an airplane is by far the most over engineered equipment out there. With 10 years in them I'm still amazed at how well they are built.
What are the 4 Yu-Gi-Oh cards with a man on a paper airplane?
The four cards are Koitsu, Soitsu, Doitsu and Aitsu.
What does the rudder in a paper airplane do?
It counteracts adverse yaw caused by the ailerons when banking for a turn.
The rudder pedals also steer the plane on the ground.
Does the angle of launching affect how far a paper airplane flies?
Yes, the launching Angle of Attack, along with the launching force, will determine range, unless there is some outside force (such as a motor) to accommodate it.
What kind of paper airplane stays in the air for the longest?
The kind of paper that makes a paper airplane stay in the air the longest is blank paper because blank paper has the right amount of heaviness to make it stable.In CNN Student News,blank paper flew the greatest and longest time and distance.
How do you make a cylinder paper airplane?
I think you keep rolling it to a cylinder and tape and put wings on and fly!
Why do paper airplanes spiral?
Airplanes--not just of the paper variety, spiral for all sorts of reasons. Instability may be a cause, or perhaps the aircraft has stalled and entered a spin.
How Does the Design of a Paper Airplane Affect Its stunts?
The design of a paper airplane determines its ability to perform certain stunts, as many planes are designed to be inherently stable.
