It's the classic, world's bestselling paper airplane book, grounded
in the aerodynamics of paper and abounding with fun. "The World
Record Paper Airplane Book" raises paper airplane making to a
unique, unexpected art. This new edition boasts four brand-new
models: "Stiletto," "Spitfire," "Galactica," and "Sting Ray." Added
to its hangar of proven fliers--including "Valkyrie," "Hammerhead,"
"Vortex," "Condor," "Pterodactyl," and, of course, the famous
"World Record Paper Airplane"--that makes twenty airworthy designs.
Each is swathed in all-new, attention-grabbing graphics and is
ready to tear out, fold, and fly. There are at least five models
for each design and all-important instructions for how to adjust
and throw each plane for best flight.
But the planes are just the beginning. The book features tons of
cool information on aerodynamics, competitions, and designing your
own high-performing models. Readers will learn why paper airplanes
fly (and why they crash), the history of Ken Blackburn's world
record, and how to organize and win contests. Also included is a
flight log and pull-out runway for practicing accuracy.
