That is absolutely amazing and for anyone glossing over this link unsure if you will bother checking it out I highly recommend checking it out. 2 minute video. So cool the ending. I know what I am doing tomorrow.

They didn't show the landing. What happens if it lands on the cook top? I saw no fire extinguishers nearby. ;P

Interesting. I had learned a similar design back in the late 1970's early 1980's in school from classmates. I have learned some designs from books, but I guess we had a decent oral tradition, passing down good designs from grade to grade back then.

It was probably the combination of available letter-sized sheets of paper (old homework) and some free time (recess and/ study hall).

That brings back old memories! I used to fold my paper airplane like this for the most part : ). I do not remember who showed it to me.

this is the first and only “cool” paper airplane I learned to build. the version I learned had a tail, which was built from a strip of paper torn off the end of the page.

> I think I've found the design! But it took a blurry YouTube video and some trial and error.

That isn't at all blurry.

The plane construction is speeded up. It's often blurry when you pause it.
