Today in science class, we make the paper airplanes. Our teacher says, “We will see which airplane flies the farthest.” Everyone wants his or her airplane to fly far. Of course I want mine to fly farther than the others. I want it to fly the farthest of all. We stand at the fro...
The three designs below are tried and true (you wouldn’t believe some of the science behind paper airplanes) and are perfect beginner, moderate, and expert level models to play with. They go in order from easiest to hardest, so there’s something for every age level — including adult; ...
Insights gleaned from this research have practical applications, but they also shed light on the aerodynamic principles that keep paper airplanes thrown by enthusiasts up in the air. All planes —powered and unpowered —are controlled by the four forces of flight: lift, weight, thrust, and ...
根据第一段第一行“Paper airplanes are fun to play with.(纸飞机玩起来很有趣。)”和第五行“It is said that Leonardo da Vinci was the first one to make a paper airplane in the 15th century.(据说列奥纳多·达·芬奇是15世纪第一个制造纸飞机的人。)”可知,作者提到列奥纳多·达·芬奇和亚洲人是...
No one knows for sure when the first paper airplanes appeared. Some people think Leonardo da Vinci made them, but people in Asia were folding paper and making kites hundreds of years before him. So, the first paper airplanes probably appeared a long, long time ago. Paper airplanes are fun...
Something improbable can be any of those, or none of them, or all of them, in different ways. And what you don’t expect can be a powerful force for not only entertaining science, but also for the boundary-pushing science we call innovation....
Folding a single sheet of paper into a high performance, blow-the-competition-away flying paper machine has never been easier. Comes with clear instructions for folding 10 impressive kid do-able planes and 40 sheets of custom-designed paper in a variety of groovy patterns. It's a complete ...

The design of Micro Air Vehicles (MAV) is challenging since the aerodynamic efficiency of airfoils and wings decreases at low Reynolds-numbers. While many MAV approaches investigate biological designs, we present an investigation on the aerodynamics of paper airplanes, which fly in the same Reynolds...
The Wright brothers also used paper airplanes to test their ideas about flight before their first airplane took off. They used paper airplanes to understand how their planes would work in the wind. So we have paper airplanes to thank for air travel today!
