What paper airplane design flies the farthest?

From the results of testing design number 2 flew the furthest with both the plane launcher and people throwing it.

Does a longer paper airplane fly farther than a wide one?

Yes, the more air that can get under the wings the longer the airplane will stay airborne increasing the chances it will fly farther.

What is the best wing shape?

The elliptical wing is aerodynamically most efficient because elliptical spanwise lift distribution induces the lowest possible drag.

How do you change how much drag a paper plane has?

Did it go about the same distance each time? Once you have a good idea of about how far your plane typically flies, change the plane’s shape to increase how much drag it experiences. To do this, cut slits that are about one inch long right where either wing meets the middle ridge.

What is the best way to make a paper airplane?

Folding the Paper Airplane Start with a flat sheet of paper. Fold the paper in half lengthwise, then unfold. Fold down the upper corners. Fold down the top triangle. Bring the corners in so they meet in the middle. Fold up the small triangle. Fold the paper outward to form the body of the plane. Make one last fold to form the wings.

What is the best long distance paper airplane?

LONGEST DISTANCE. The record distance for a paper plane to be thrown is currently held by Joe Ayoob using a plane designed by John Collins. The throw was made on 26 February 2012 at the McClellan Air Force Base near Sacramento in the United States and the distance – 226 feet and 10 inches (69.14 meters).

What is the best paper airplane to make?

The most common paper airplane, as the easiest to make, is the Arrow. The Dart is also a common paper airplane as it is very similar to the Arrow. The Glider is also common and glides very well with it’s large wing area. The Delta Fighter looks more like a real fighter plane because it is designed with a pilot’s cockpit.

What kind of paper airplane flies the farthest?

The farthest flight by a paper aircraft is 69.14 meters (226 feet 10 inches), achieved by Joe Ayoob and aircraft designer John M. Collins (both USA), at McClellan Air Force Base , in North Highlands, California, USA on 26 February 2012. The plane was constructed from a single sheet of uncut A4 paper.
