		Paper Rocket You're right this is not a paper airplane either but is supremely simple to make and has some very interesting science behind it.
		Paper Frisbee This is great fun and best made out of small squares of paper maybe 15cm by 15cm (6" by 6") and thrown like a normal frisbee it will fly quite well especially indoors.

	PAPER AIRPLANE AERODYNAMICS
		For delta wings (such as the common dart paper airplane) the neutral point is ½ of the distance from the nose to the tail.
		When the paper clip has been moved back to a point where you are using nearly no elevator deflection, and you can't get the plane to fly well, you have the CG at the neutral point (try to balance the plane on a finger, the point where it balances is the neutral point).
		Time aloft for a paper airplane can be optimized by either throwing a paper airplane with a short wing span real high, and having it glide downward fairly quickly (what I do), or making a fragile long wing span plane and launching it gently from as high as you can reach, or something in between.

	88.06.02: Paper Airplanes
		When an airplane wing, an airfoil shape that is curved on the top and flat on the bottom, moves through the air, the speed of the air on the top of the wing is greater than the speed of the air below it.
		On a paper airplane, however, the body of the plane is small, the weight is light and the speed is slow.
		Stalling is one of the principal causes of airplane accidents.

	PaperAirplaneScience
		Airplanes are designed so that their center of gravity is near, but slightly in front of, their center of pressure.
		This is why airplanes have a front and a rear, the center of gravity is in front of the center of pressure.
		In many paper airplanes the rear of the body is made taller than the front.

		he most amazing thing about a paper airplane is that all you need to make one is a sheet of paper—nothing more.
		If you've ever made a paper airplane, you've probably just folded the paper into a simple dart—as people have done for at least a hundred years.
		Paper makes a good wing because it's impermeable to air: In a single sheet of paper, multiple layers of interlocked fibers prevent air from flowing through.

	Exploratorium Magazine: Paper: Airplanes: page 2
		When a paper airplane is aloft, there's a delicate balance between the downward force of gravity on the plane and the upward force of the air.
		One of the great properties of paper is that you can fold it over on itself, creating regions of the plane that are twice or even four times as thick as the single panels of the wings.
		The folds of paper near the front of the airplane move the center of gravity forward.

		Build a special paper airplane to demonstrate how and why airplanes and most birds can fly (when they're not flapping their wings).
		After folding the paper back, put a small piece of tape at the wing tips and at the center at the points marked A, B, and C. Now fold the plane along the center crease so that it creates a flattened out 'V'.
		People who know about airplanes call these little 'tabs' an elevator if it makes the plane go up or down and a rudder if it makes the plane turn right or left.

	How to Make a Paper Airplane
		The "weight" of paper offers an approximation of how thick and how stiff each sheet is. The term actually refers to the weight of a stack of 500 sheets of paper (of a certain size, which I have forgotten; possibly 17x22 inches?).
		The work surface should be at least as large as the sheet of paper and offer a firm, stable surface to support the paper while it is being folded.
		Ensure that the long edges of the paper are carefully aligned so that they are flush with one another over their whole length before creasing the fold.

	What Makes Airplanes Fly?
		How easily an airplane moves through the air, or its aerodynamics, is the first consideration in making an airplane fly for a long distance.
		The initial thrust comes from the muscles of the "pilot" as the paper airplane is launched.
		After this, paper airplanes are really gliders, converting altitude to forward motion.

		Crease it nicely, because as you're probably guessing this is the "main" fold for the airplane and is also the line of symmetry.
		I must reiterate that the edge must lie exactly on top of the center fold, the point must lie on top of the crucial 3 10/16ths point, and that the lower-left corner of the paper must now touch the right edge of the paper but not extend past it.
		And, of course, the most difficult folds of the airplane involve those guns and if the points are sharp now, the difficult folds won't be quite so annoying.
