For a much harder challenge check out the spring loaded rocket gliders that a friend of Flite Test makes! These might give you some inspiration for how to maximize flight with a rocket motor. Generally it's straight up then float down spiraling as slowly as possible. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bJ2Wo7Kams-dnYE.html

Really old Bottle Rockets work well for paper airplanes. By old, I mean Bottle Rockets from 2-3 years ago that someone put in the Garage and forgot about. Older Bottle Rockets don't burn quite as fast, so it's more gentle on the paper airplane... This is what I learned going to college in Tallahassee, Florida.

Make an EDF plane with afterburner. Tip: Use a butane canister for the fuel and inject it into a ring made out of copper pipe with holes pointing backwards and use a toy zapper to light the fuel. Of course, use a valve or a servo to activate the fuel Tip to avoid making a flying flame: cover the exhaust with aluminium foil and fiberglass to isolate it from the fuselage

I staple a penny at the C.G. of my paper airplanes within the keel fold. I also cut elevator control surfaces on the trailing edge to impart a slight pitch-up moment. When thrown by hand, these paper airplanes go through a series of gentle stalls, recovering easily from each one. The net effect is that it typically triples the free-throw range of the airplane.

It should stull. Be possible to use a paper plane, just use a design that can fly at a lower speed that generates more lift. A "stunt" plane fits the bill as it would also be rigid enough for a motor. Then just trim to handle the extra speed of the motor.

When I was a little kid, me and my brother added a 'howler' to a paper airplane, this howlers where indeed small rockets, constructed for the generation of a loud sound. We ignited the fuse and threw the plane, it was gliding fast and stable but we feared the fuse would be to long, than suddenly the howler started to work, the plane caught speed and went higher and higher, exactly like it should have been. Today they don't produce this howlers any more, they where like rocket without any stabilization and flew everywhere sometimes hitting persons nearby ...

@CamBate 2 жыл бұрын

Need a decent bit of dihedral angle on the wings. Then roll (some yaw) stabilisation is sorted. Then hopefully your designs would glide a lot further and maybe work better with the rockets

I would like to point out that the severe triangle shape we fold most paper plains into is not conducive to Gliding. Any actual piloted planes shaped like this have Computer Pilot Assist to help in controlling the plane. If you folded them to look more like popular plane or glider models, they would fly better. Also, putting the engine into the fold COMPLETELY changes the aerodynamics. And when gliding, speed changes how things fly: too fast, the plane tips up and Stalls; too slow, and it swoops down; non-stable designs just spin and fall.
