How to fold the paper airplane that flies the farthest

"Avengers"Paper Plane Created by 20-year-old Chris, an engineering student at the University of Leeds. Sanders, 19-year-old John. Lewis and 21-year-old Jon. Ward design completed. Lewis said their design team tried to perfectly unify flight distance and airborne time. He said: "The nose has been proven to be the main factor causing the failure of paper airplanes. Making a long and pointed nose is a mistake. It looks good, but it lacks stability."

The nose of the "Avenger" is not pointed, and multiple folds make it stronger. This design makes the flight more stable and will not "shatter to pieces" after being thrown a few times. Professor McIntosh believes that the location of the center of gravity is also very important. "The ideal center of gravity should be about one-third of the fuselage from the tip of the nose." Flaps on the rear wing of the fuselage allow airflow to pass from a wider angle, thereby helping to increase flight altitude.

According to competition rules, all aircraft models must be made from a piece of A4 paper with a maximum weight of 100 grams per square meter; tape is allowed, but the total quantity must not exceed 3 cm x 2.5 cm. The Avengers design will undoubtedly offend some purists who insist on traditional design. These people advocate not using tapes and reinforcements, and not cutting the paper. Peter. has been engaged in paper airplane design for 15 years. Kearnsman said: "A plane is called a paper airplane if it is made entirely of paper. No other materials should be used, and no cutting should be done."

According to some flight experts, to ensure the smooth flight of paper airplanes, the following principles should be followed:

*The thick front-end design ensures stable flight, and the nose is fixed with a paper clip to allow the aircraft to fly farther.

*If the nose of the aircraft is too heavy, adjust the tail end of the wing and fold it upward slightly.

*The center of gravity should be positioned forward to prevent the aircraft from swinging.

*Wing angleThe angle should be upward, so that the aircraft forms a "Y" shape when viewed from the front.

*The winglets at the wing tips help reduce flight resistance.

*Look down at the front end of the aircraft, check whether it is symmetrical, and refold it if necessary; complete asymmetry will not allow for smooth flight.

*Patience and fine-tuning are more important than radically changing the basic design.
