Paper Planes
Paper Planes
Fold and fly paper airplanes — from classic darts to record-chasing distance and time-aloft gliders.
Paper planes are the most accessible flight there is: a single sheet, a few precise folds, and you've got a glider that really flies — and behind the childhood dart sits a surprisingly deep hobby of distance designs, time-aloft floaters, and aerobatic planes, complete with world records.
It's essentially free and instantly fun.
The honest reality is that the best-flying designs need precise, careful folding and a little tuning, but a great-flying plane is only ever a sheet of paper away.
