What is the best paper airplane design?
There are so many types of paper airplanes, from simple classics to more complex designs. One of my favourites is the boomerang plane. This one always gets a wow from the kids because it loops back toward you when thrown just right. For anyone looking to explore different styles, I’d suggest browsing a mix of classic dart, glider, and stunt designs. There are some really great illustrated guides and templates online, including this wikiHow article here!
