How does the size of a paper airplane affect how it moves through the air? A: Like all things that fly, there are 4 forces of fligt that act on a paper airplane, thrust, weight , lift and drag. The larger the paper airplane the more it will weigh, the more it weighs the more lift will be needed to keep it flying.Click to see full answer. Likewise, which type of paper airplane will fly the farthest?The paper craft was designed by John Collins (a.k.a. “The Paper Airplane Guy”), and soared a whopping 226 feet, 10 inches. Here, Collins walks us through how to fold his world-record-holding plane, which he’s named “Suzanne.”Similarly, how does the wing shape of a paper airplane affect the distance it travels? A plane’s glide ratio, or the distance of its glide divided by its altitude, is equal to its lift ratio. A wing with a slight bend, or camber, to its shape will outperform a flat wing in terms of its lift/drag ratio. A smooth surface on a plane results in less air resistance, and thus less drag. Furthermore, do heavier paper airplanes fly farther? In the same way a rock that is thrown pushes its way through the air as compared to a cotton ball, a paper airplane with more mass flies faster and farther than a paper plane with less mass, up to a point. If the mass is too great, the wings can’t hold the plane in the air.How do you make a perfect paper airplane? How to Make the Perfect Paper Airplane Start by folding the paper in half the long way. Fold a corner into the middle of the paper. Repeat Step #2 on the other side. Fold the folded edge in again to the center crease. Repeat on the other side. Pick up the plane and fold it in half along the center crease. Make a wing by folding down one of the flaps.
