How do you make a paper airplane that flies far and straight and fast?
Paper airplane that flies far and straight Flying Technique:
- Hold the Plane behind the centre of the plane’s gravity centre.
- Keep your left foot slightly forward and launch it in 30 – 40 degrees angle, throw it steadily with a medium force.
- Try different angles and forces now!
Does heavier paper airplane fly farther?
Changing Mass In the same way a rock that is thrown pushes its way through the air as compared to a cotton ball, a paper airplane with more mass flies faster and farther than a paper plane with less mass, up to a point. If the mass is too great, the wings can’t hold the plane in the air.
