Paper airplane replica

thingiverse

This paper airplane design was taught during childhood and still remains my preferred folding style due to its solid flight pattern. To test a plastic version, I first folded a paper prototype and observed its trajectory. The key is to balance stall and dive for an optimal flight distance. Upon printing the plastic plane, I added a launch hook under the nose for elastic band use and designed a launcher tool for easy operation. However, awaiting the print's completion, the flying performance remains uncertain; thus, outdoor launches are recommended to avoid potential damages.
