Table of ContentsReviewsThe humble paper airplane is a low-cost way to explore paper engineering and the principles of aerodynamics. Crisp photos and clear diagrams make the folding process foolproof.-- School Library Journal, Maker Bookshelf Using the premise of lessons in a flight school, this series takes paper-plane enthusiasts from basic models in the first level to more complicated projects in the fourth. The standard introduction for all the books, which includes a list of basic materials and an overview of folding instructions and techniques, is followed by spreads of photo-illustrated directions for each plane. The traditional as well as original designs have fun names like Streaking Eagle, Lazy Lander, or Space Bomber. Comments expand upon the planes' characteristics and abilities-when flying the Warthog, enthusiasts are assured not to worry about hitting the wall. The Warthog's snub nose can take a beating (Captain). Along with hints on how to hold the plane for takeoff to maximize its strengths are suggestions on conducting friendly competitions with the finished products. Sure to keep readers busy for hours.-- Series Made Simple; School Library Journal Author InformationChristopher L.
