Weekend fun: Paper Airplanes

Posted by Chris Tingom on March 9, 2007 at 6:36 pm.

How far can you make this little airplane go? My current best is 35.7 45.1, and Tom has passed 40. It’s rather unrealistic but tons of fun.

  • I got a 46.0 as well with a “c” configuration / 46 paperweight / 23 elevator setting and winglets.

    I gave the thrower a slight tilt back, his forward hand around the bottom of the darker blue border and his throwing arm pitched back to the point of just before straightening out.

  • 48.0 in practice, but only 45 when I challenged someone.

    It’s also fun to see how close you can get it to 0 by making it loop. I got 0.8 meters.

  • Haha — Using that same configuration as in my previous comment, I can get it to do a loop by throwing too hard and then scrape the ground for 16.6 meters.

    Cool.

  • Hey Chris, you’ve found quite an addictive game! I was able to hit 46.7 after switching to Plane “C” with winglets on, paper weight of 39, and elevators at 43.

  • Scored 48.2 after a good few tries and after reading some of the pointers on here. Addictive and fun. Thanks for the link, Chris :)
