Excellent info! I prefer building gliders. Indeed, my OmniWings include pretty much all the aerodynamic properties of the modern day hang glider designed into the wings. Center of Gravity, improved airfoil, proper amount of wing sweep, twist and washout for stability. I present one of my favorite flights with an OmniWing off of Mt. Nebo, in Arkansas.

Folding planes symmetrically is tough! I think that's definitely the hardest part of the equation for good flight. The rest is just having a bit of knowledge on how to properly adjust the plane.

@baskaranveniaravind 3 жыл бұрын

if the symmetry is bad try trying to do the first step (fold it to the bottom) and then check if its on line with each other. the hold with your right hand and try to fold with left hand then it will come nice. I tried doing this and I made a boomerang paper airplane with that.

@rickzegooene2193 6 жыл бұрын

This is a really good video to help beginners get into the essential aerodynamics of paper airplanes. A minor point you addressed that differs from my opinion was the distinction between darts and gliders. I would argue that all of the planes you presented as examples of darts were in fact also gliders. If you look at the planes they used in the red bull competitions, the darts were literally pencil-thin sticks made from folding a piece of paper over and over again. Compared to those actual darts, the dart examples in your videos have way larger wing spans. I think the distinction between darts and gliders is the way you throw them. Gliders utilize their wings to generate lift to keep the plane in air, so they are thrown at a horizontal angle to maximize lift. Throwing gliders at a higher angle would cause stalling, and the wings wouldn't produce lift to keep the plane aloft. Darts are optimised as projectiles that experience free fall, with minimum aerodynamic effects. Therefore, they are thrown at a near 45 degree angle for maximum horizontal distance.

@FoldableFlight 6 жыл бұрын

You know definitely what you're talking about! I love encountering people who have a lot of knowledge and interest in paper airplanes. Frankly, I agree with your assessment to a degree. I think it really depends on how strictly we want to define the term "dart". Every paper airplane with wings is generating some amount of lift, and therefore, glides. So we could safely call all paper airplanes gliders, but still we call some darts. So I don't really think there is a dividing line between darts and gliders. I think it's a spectrum between the two. I also agree that the main distinction between darts and gliders is the angle (and often speed) at which you throw them. This is why I make a distinction in this video (and in my video specifically examining the differences between darts and gliders) between the planes we're talking about. Yes, the "darts" in this video could also be considered gliders, but you throw them differently from the gliders depicted in this video. And that's really the point I'm trying to make. Thanks for your interest!

@rickzegooene2193 6 жыл бұрын

I see your point, and I agree there's a distinction between the two types of planes you showed. You're doing great work here, the locking folds you designed in your planes are really interesting and I haven't quite seen them in any other designs. Good stuff.
