Aerodynamics Explained by a World Record Paper Airplane Designer | Level Up | WIRED
John Collins, origami enthusiast and paper airplane savant, walks us through all the science behind five spectacular paper airplanes. Most people know how to fold a simple plane, but paper airplanes can take as much from science as the newest car designs. ►► Listen to the Get WIRED podcast ►► Also, check out the free…

You also can add oblique triangular wings to tube by folding. it makes it go more stable and more in a precise direction. Or thats how I make my tube paper planes.

Gravity is not a force, it’s an acceleration. Weight is the resultant force of gravity acting upon a mass. F=ma

A successful flight is 80 percent dependent on the pilot and 20 percent on the design.
It takes a lot of experience to properly throw a plane.
Juri Wormsbecher
October 20, 2020 at 4:44 pm
The aerodynamics of paper airplanes are paradoxical, and indeed closer to butterfly flight than Boeing.

Hi mr john your aero dynamics are the best and i couldnt understand this theory i ve been trying to make paper plane by watching other videos. today i made a paper plane using the techniques you tought and that was like a miracle to me because i ve been trying for weeks to make a plane. thank you very much ps- nice joke about the wings hope you are fine during this period
