The forces that allow a paper plane to fly are the same ones that apply to real airplanes. A force is something that pushes or pulls on something else. When you throw a paper plane in the air, you are giving the plane a push to move forward. That push is a type of force called thrust.
The plane flew 226 feet, 10 inches to break the previous record by 19 feet, 6 inches. Collins is the man in the blue-shirt jumping with joy.So how can you get your mitts on such a fantastic flying paper plane? In his book, Collins dishes on the design, a glider named 'Suzanne.'
Folding planes isn’t just to fill idle time, Collins writes:Paper airplanes embody the scientific method. Every throw is an experiment. It’s a hobby that begs the paper pilot to understand ever more in order to excel. Hypothesis, experiment design, trial, and results—it’s all built into every plane and every throw. To play with a paper airplane is to dabble in science, whether you know it or not.Those serious about paper airplanes: the weight needs to be forward, but swept wings for an 'up elevator effect' will give the flight stability. Collins likely knew all this but notes that his Suzanne design is special:Suzanne, the world-record paper airplane, boasts a series of firsts: the first glider to hold the distance record, the first paper airplane to use changing airspeed to enhance performance, the first plane to use a thrower/designer team, and the first plane to break the record after the run-up-to-throw distance was shortened from 30 to 10 feet.
It is a truly amazing aircraft. I believe Suzanne changes the way distance records will be broken in the future. The days of brute-force darts are gone, replaced by the age of true gliders.The book apparently holds the key to the final shaping steps for Suzanne, but Collins gives a very detailed start to folding the plane in this video.
