Paper Airplanes

We made several tests with paper darts.

Gliders

Properties: They stay in the air longer than other flyers.

Characteristics: They are light and have big wings.

 

Aerobatics

Aerobatics are boomerangs or looping flyers.

Properties:

They are able to fly loops and return to you.

Characteristics: They fly loops if you tear the wings at the back.

Arrow rockets

Properties:

They reach high speeds and therefore they fly high and far. You can take aim with them.

They are robust and might be a little bit heavier. The shape is racy and pointed.
