Nobody knows who invented the first paper airplane, but China began making paper on a large scale ... model for predicting the simpler, subtler gliding flight of paper airplanes.

To dissect the relationship between a folding pattern and flight, the team developed a robotic system that can fabricate, test, analyze, and model the ... over 500 paper airplanes with 50 ...

“Then, I start refining the final model.” Here's how to make good paper airplanes that will go the desired distance. For a simple but surprisingly solid paper airplane, start with a standard 8 ...

“Full-scale and paper airplanes have vast differences in their complexity, but both operate on the same fundamental principles,” said Ruble, via email. “Some of the same design methodologies ...
