Someone gave me a nice flyable wooden aeroplane for my birthday.
Then the idea stuck me when we have plenty of scrape paper in school, especially those printed notes and reports we didn’t need anymore. Soon I was regaining my childhood fun and happiness, of those when we were “naughty students” as small kids in classrooms, folding, making and throwing paper airplanes.
When I was younger, the aeroplane that most of us we only knew how to do was the standard fold half, then quarters model. Occasionally some know how to create the heavy head, large winged model. They models were simple, but have the least of eye candy, performance and durability. Then, our modifications were at most slits created for rolling, and some for a rubber band as a catapult, and twisting of the nose to extend it lifetime.
Then as wisdom and comes with age, the airplanes should be more advance and superior like these modern technologically advanced planes compared to planes of World War I. We now know how to fold faster, more durable, nicer in its design , and beautiful flight path and distance.
I have search the topic on the internet, and would like to point you to some links and good and interesting planes that I have enjoyed learning.
For a general, informative read up (as usual) on wikipedia.
DC-03 Model paper plane - “World’s best paper plane” Looks great and flies really well too. Although you might take more time to lean how to fold it at first.
Guinness record holder known for his longest flying paper plane.
I love his PL-1 Plane too.
This is an unusual, but interesting and original design.

Have fun throwing them in classroom and outdoors. A good throwing technique and strength good is useful too. Have fun playing!
