Hangtime! Paper airplane

Throw it up high and time it as it comes back down! With a gentle breeze this plane can regularly reach flight times of 15-25 seconds! Sweet!

This was my favorite plane design as a kid; as an adult I'm still tempted to go out and play with this one. Maybe I will...

Step 1: The beginning

Start off with a single sheet of standard paper

- fold the top right corner over to the left side of the paper, as pictured
- unfold and do the same operation on the top left corner
- unfold and flip the paper over

Nice, I've actually lost sight of one of them, it went so far and over some trees. Definitely the exception, not the rule.

15-25 seconds in the air is awesome. How about you break Ken Blackburn`s world record which was 27.6 seconds in the air.

I think that is indoors - outside with wind and thermals paper gliders can stay aloft much longer.
