Product Description

Review

"It's time to toss those boring white paper airplanes and buy "The World Record Paper Airplane Book""--"Hemispheres" magazine --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

Mixing science, innovation and enthusiasm, this book is an everything-you-need resource for beginners and experienced flyers alike. It features 16 models, including the basic dart and its variations, one chopper and the the square flyer that holds the world record; 80 colour airplanes-to-be, performated with fold marks; a colour pull-out landing strip for accuracy practice; and a flight log. As aerodynamic engineers, the authors explain everything from the principles behind why paper airplanes fly and why they crash, to tips on fine-tuning planes for speed and stability, adjusting for wind conditions, practicing to get the best throw, troubleshooting, and performing loops, rolls and other aerobatics. A special section gives ideas on staging accuracy and distance competitions.

Despite my degree in aerospace engineering and many years work in the field, explaining why a paper airplane stays in the air is not easy. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is soooooooo cool, 8 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The World Record Paper Air Plane Book (Paperback)
I got this as a gift. Each airplane can be made from the paper pages of the book (which you tear out and fold). The designs vary widely and best of all most of these planes really fly well. My favourite is 'the vortex': basically no more than a hoop of paper...you think it will never work but when you throw it ...wow! It moves along at a constant slow-ish speed like something tossed in zero gravity. The effect is quite eery.

A Kid's Review
The World Record Paper Airplane Book

I have been making paper aeroplanes for a long time. I like this book as you can make complicated planes but the instructions are really simple and easy to follow. They look pretty real when folded and it is important to take your time when making them for them to be able to fly accurately.I would definitely recommend this book to a friend.

Very detailed & excellent step by step instructions. Looking forward to using some of the simpler designs with the children in my year 2 class.
