It is because of the shape of the wings that create lift and drag. If you rip at the end of the wings to make flaps then the paper plane will either go up or down. It all depends on how much force you use to expel the paper plane with your hand.

Why do paper airplanes fly?

Paper airplanes fly due to the principles of aerodynamics. When a paper airplane is thrown, the shape of its wings and the angle at which it is thrown create lift, which allows the airplane to stay in the air and glide. The force of gravity pulling the airplane down is counteracted by the lift generated by the wings, allowing the airplane to fly.


How do paper planes fly?

Paper airplanes fly because of the velocity and air pressure on either sides of the wings. Air is also pushed to the bottom upward to the plane.
