How to make a different paper airplane?

Paper airplanes are always a fascination ever since origami and paper folding are found to be way to express ideas and thoughts. When it comes to thrill and push to a progress competition and those motivations plays a major role. During 1966, Scientific American organized the “The first international paper airplane competition.” All over from 28 countries across the world participated along with 11,851 paper airplane models to battle on this event. Basically, paper airplanes are measured in terms of their Endurance, Range, Distance and time, Acrobatics, Difficulty in build like Origami structures, Aesthetics, Location focussed, target focussed, Multi target shooting and etc., Endurance: Endurance is basically the time the plane takes from the moment it leaves launcher’s hand and ends when it touches the ground. Range: This is measured from the point of launch to the point of landing. Range varies according to its design and its environment. Acrobatics: Best paper airplane designs are made to perform acrobatics which does loitering, stunts, tasks, quality of flight and etc., Origami: Origami is one of ancient Japanese art for creating various structures like birds, animals, objects and creatures, sometimes paper airplanes. Over the years of time, paper airplane making has evolved and taken its own form of details. The above discussed models are those type of paper airplanes which are used during the paper airplane competitions. Some events may allow paper planes with cuts and notches, Rubber band powered paper airplanes and paper airplanes which uses sticks and foam-like materials. Rubber band planes have an advantage that it can fly in a straight line with uniform speed for a minimum period of time to a longer distance. So, they are better for higher range. Rubber band airplane technique: Without using a supportive or additional module for rubber band, you can make your own paper airplane cut and notches in a single paper for launching your paper airplane. Rubber band technique not only supports the paper airplane to travel in a straight line but also helps it to reach more distance in a short period of time. Sometimes hand launching techniques may create a transverse force but the rubber band technique creates a stability and uniform force to get its fly. This paper airplane technique can be tolerated by airplanes which have strong structural ability to withstand the immediate force created by the rubber band. Poorly made aerodynamic body may not perform hand to hand with good planes but, planes with unsymmetrical sections also reach more distances with the help of rubber bands. But because of its poor aerodynamic nature they have developed a mechanism to create more drag. LND – www.liftndrift.com is the world’s first paper airplane community which has paper airplanes of all types like Darts, Gliders, Stunts and Hybrids.
