The Japanese want to send a paper airplane from space to earth. Those crazy people... Anyway, do folding instructions to this thing exist? Or to other nice paper planes?
>>156478Takes friction to create heat, takes mass to create friction. a paper airplane has almost no mass, so would not burn-up on re-entry like a 2,238 ton space shuttle.
>>156489awesome. also, bumpthat looks like a sweet plane
>>156489OP here, I know. Doesn't make them not crazy. Nah, I was just joking. Didn't mean to troll...
paper airplane thread is a go maybe?
As a child I had this great book, The ultimate paper airplane, by Richard Kline. Those models where great, but the book I had died of excessive water absorption. There any scans around?
isn't the best "paper airplane" basically a piece of paper with one edge folded over a couple times and then rolled into a tube with a heavy leading edge? you throw it with a little spin?
>>156499I used to have that book too, I wanted to save the biplane it had for last but I lost the book before I got to make it T_T
>>156541I want pics
