Paper Airplanes

See the video tutorial below . . .

Generally, this is a matter of individual preference. It is unlikely that one paper airplane design is the best at everything (range, speed, glide ratio, etc.). Many airplanes are claimed to be the best, but these claims are unsubstantiated.

I know!

Yes, Yes it would

if its a basic airplane, adding paper clips to the wings can help so it doesnt just fly in random directions.

suck your own nuts n cutt your mothers throat

The wing that has a longer wing cause it could fly longer.

There have been many attempts over the years to break the barriers of throwing a paper plane for the longest time aloft. Ken Blackburn held this Guinness World Record for 13 years (1983-1996) and had regained the record on October 1998 by keeping his paper plane aloft for 27.6 seconds (indoors). This was confirmed by Guinness officials and a CNN report.[2] The paper plane that Blackburn used in this record breaking attempt was a "glider".

you throw it

the CG is where you can balance it on you finger

It falls slowly because it is light, but also because the rough, flexible paper has more drag than stiffer writing paper.

The forces at work in a paper airplane are the same ones at work on a larger plane. That's why engineers can use wind tunnels to test new airfoils and aircraft performance using scale models. You cant really "control" a paper airplane. Once it's out of your hand, it's on its own.

If you fold the typical Delta wing paper airplane, you can modify its flight behavior to some degree by slightly bending its "rudder" (the vertical part in back) and its "elevator" (the horizontal part in back). With differential bending of the "elevators" (one side up, one side down) you might be able to get your plane to do rolls.

Another modification you might try is adding a small bit of weight like a dime somewhere around the middle or just aft of the middle. (Don't put it too far back or it will stall.) Some people put paper clips on the nose. Have fun!

the medium paper ball

The NASA Solar plane.It goes to cruise altitude in 6-9 hours

Did it at 13 days old and everything was fine. More concern for Mom than baby.

Hydro airplanes are airplanes that can land on water. They have floaties in place of wheels. They are almost always propeller powered as jets could cause too much wake.

One sheet of paper produces 1.163 miiliwatt hours, and 0.00396832 British thermal units (Btu).

An arm throwing it is causing the thrust.

No , a crumpled up airplane will have problems with the air not flowing smoothly across the wings .

A paper airplane cannot fly without a wing.

Wilbur and Orville Wright i think that's what it said on some wedsite .

* One of the common wives tales is that if you are carrying low you are having a boy; if you are carrying high you are having a girl. * Another common wives tale is to combine Drano with your urine. Depending on the color change of your urine, you will have a boy or a girl. But there is no specifics of which color means which gender! I have heard that if your urine turns bluish yellow, brownish, brown, black or blue you will be having a boy. If your urine looks more greenish brown, green, blue or doesn't change at all, then you're having a girl. * Some believe the sex of your baby can be determined by your cavings. If you want chocolate you are having a girl...if you are craving really salty/sour foods you are having a boy. * Some say that if your right breast is larger you are having a boy, if your left breast is larger you are having a girl * I have also heard to have the mother to be pick up a key that is sitting on a table. If she pick it up by the round part it will be a boy, if she picks it up by the narrow part she is having a girl. If she picks it up in the middle she is having twins!

The peice of paper compares to the paper airplane because they both have the same mass. Whether a paper is flat,folded in half or is shaped into a fancy paper boat it will always have the same amount of mass.
