Cool Paper Airplane Designs
Cool Paper Airplane Designs
To achieve long flight times and huge distances, you need to minimize your weight-to-wing lift area. Since we are starting with a single piece of paper, we can't do too much about weight. That leaves maximizing the wing area and lift. Therefore, these long distance flyers all have large wing areas for maximum lift.
Eagle Paper Airplane
Just take a look at the Eagle paper plane and you’ll immediately see why it's categorized in this cool plane list. Among the five Jets and Bombers on this website, the Eagle looks the most threatening. The folding style is unusual. It is a complicated-looking jet that resembles a modern fighter-bomber when completed.
The Ketch Paper Airplane
The Ketch Paper Airplane is a strange looking, box-like craft that flies well if folded properly. It looks like an alien among ordinary paper airplanes and thus, ranks high in the coolness meter. This square craft works best with light to medium weight paper.
Seagull Paper Airplane
The Sea Gull paper airplane is a unique Delta Wing design. Its tucked nose creates an elegant looking craft that is a slow, long distance floater. This variation on a traditional glider design will float straight and far when folded well.
The Jupiter Paper Airplane
Fast, evasive maneuvers are easy for the Jupiter paper airplane thanks to its forward winglets, that give it an extra measure of stability and control. Medium to light paper is best suited for this star cruiser. This is the first of five Starship Paper Airplanes and yes, they all look cool!
Neptune Paper Airplane
The Neptune paper airplane is a zippy little starship with forward-facing weapons pods. It’s a little tricky to fold and requires extra trimming. Medium to light paper is recommended for this model. The design is based on the work of Campbell Morris.
