Yes, paper planes need wings to fly, if they were to be accurate to a real plane, since real planes have wings, so paper planes need wings, too.

The wings provide lift for the paper plane, causing it to fly when thrown properly. No wings means it is just an ordinary folded piece of paper that you are trying to throw.

They can turn a lot faster if the wings are short like in a commercial airliner, however if they are in a delta pattern like in the Concorde, then they will fly faster as they will create less drag.

How do paper airplanes?

paper airplanes fly depending on their wing angle (dihedral), weight, and wing design.small paper planes wings go faster if you put some weight in the front. paper planeswith large wing glide more slowly and float. if its windy outside you may be luckyenough to throw it and the wind will pick it up.They have wings that create lift for the airplane to stay in the air.Newtonian lift and pressure differential above and below the aircraft's wings.
