for time aloft's world record of 18.80 seconds, the design used by Ken Blackburn involved a lengthwise center crease, then folding the bottom corners into the center such that the creases go to the top corners of the paper. then around 10 valley folds from the bottom up, fold the wings, and put elevator tabs on the wing tips, I THINK.
from a leaned-back standing position, he threw it upwards as hard as possible. i almost came to within 0.10 seconds of acheiving a tie with the record. and i did all this in the first year of high school; go fig.
in a paper airplane book i have, there's one called Glynn's Glider, and that design set a world record by itself in distance.
now if only my scanner worked.. ¬¬;*
