For real I had no idea the air going over the top pushed the back down/nose up. TURNS OUT THE WINGS DON'T HAVE BONES OR HOLLOW MUSCLES OR EVEN A CILIA-LIKE LAYER OF DOWN CROWD SURFING THE AIR TO THE BACK. P.S. anyone else trying to use their mattress as a folding surface?

@chesterwang3070 2 жыл бұрын

@@kendrickje If you angle the elevator down, the tail goes up and the nose drops. It's not only air going over the top, as it depends which way you angle the elevators (or ailerons, rudder, etc). If you angle the elevator down, air at the bottom of the wing will deflect down, while air over the top of the wing will "stick" to the surface for a bit due to the Coanda effect (though it soon "unsticks" once it reaches the smoother part of the control surface). Point is, the air moves downward, and due to Newton's third law of motion, this will push the control surface up, in this case the elevator, which is located at the back of the plane. Therefore, the nose points down (if the back goes up, the front goes down). It works the same way the other way (angling the elevator up), albeit reversed (air at the top is pushed up, air at the bottom sticks to the elevator due to Coanda effect, elevator [and therefore aft of the aircraft] pushed down, nose points up) Honestly, it's a very simple concept I figured out a few years ago, back in third grade while looking at the control surfaces on a wing and observing how the aircraft responds (ailerons were what I could see, and therefore what I used to form my conclusion). That said, I didn't know what the Coanda effect was at the time, and so I simply assumed the air on the other side of the deflected control surface simply continued in the direction it was moving before.

I also got a book that gives you a different glider style for each day of the week to fold. Fun, for awhile.

I am 52 now and I remember when I was maybe 12 years old, my parents brought us to the Empire State Building in NYC and when I was at the top, I took a brochure that the building gave out and I folded it into a kind of big paper airplane and when nobody was looking I threw it off the observation deck. I saw it fly out and really far and then start flying in circles and arcs and eventually lost sight of it as it flew behind other buildings. After we came out of the building and were walking back to where my father had parked the car, I found the paper airplane, pretty much flattened out on the side walk, but it still had the folds I had put in it. I couldn't believe I had found it.

i am 57 and i have made his long distance design since childhood (very early 70s).. even added proportional weights to have it fly longer and with more control.... CLASSIC design.. i would also manipulate the back to make it circle around back to me perfectly. no matter how hard i would throw it, it would circle around that much quicker like a boomerang.. even with this design, i would really curl the back edges, throw it hard, and it would go up and flip a 360 and then continue.. need stiff paper to find the right balance for strength if you are to throw it hard...

When I was in 7th grade, I went to the science olympiad for aeronautics. The challenge for us 12-year-olds was to come up with a paper plane design that would fly the farthest. We could use any resources available to us to design the plane, but it had to be built there. This was in the early 90's and I found a couple books at the public library which had a few designs that seemed doable. We had a Funk & Wagnalls encyclopedia set but no added value to my paper plane design. I didn't have a computer or a printer so I had to memorize how to make it. This was right before the internet and cell phones. Now I understand what my parents meant when they said "Back in our day, we had to walk to school, in the snow, uphill, both ways." 😂 I wonder what the kids today will gripe about not having to their children.

@patentpending8982 3 жыл бұрын

I'm with a few others in the comments. I found this exact folding technique in a magazine my parents had. In 1964. My friends and I used the same tweeks for the wings. If you can find slightly heavier paper, you can make the plane larger and you can also launch it with much more vigour. Outside was where it outshone the lighter paper. Just experiment.
