Watch John go in-depth on this airplane and much more:
John Collins, also known as ‘The Paper Airplane Guy,’ teaches us how to fold and fly our very own “Tube” paper airplane. The Tube doesn’t look like much, but it can certainly fly! You throw the Tube very much like you throw a football, letting the ring spin off of your fingertips. That rotation helps create lift, and lets the airplane do its thing.

As he was making the tube paper aeroplane, I was thinking that if this is possible as a real aeroplane that humans can ride.

There used to be a commercial version made of aluminum called the “Toobee.” There are old commercials here on YouTube.

Well clearly it doesn’t fly very well, otherwise they would have footage of it. They don’t. Therefore it doesn’t.

Extraordinary! I have made a lot of paper planes over the last three score of years for my sons and grandkids. I have made some odd looking oblique ones but never one like this. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving so I can show the little ones. Thanks so much for this, now I have to go practice! I wish good health, happiness and all the best to you and yours!

There is one similar to this called the ufo, the only difference is it has a tail at the end giving a great glide distance.
