Seeing some of these designs brought back memories.
My best friend growing up had this huge vaulted-ceiling living room with a balcony above it. Perfect for conducting test flights of different paper airplane designs. I had a book of paper airplane models we used and improvised from to try for the longest flight time. He had a mom who worked for the phone company, and brought home reams of green bar paper reports. [0] Those pages were larger than typical US Letter, but about the same proportions.
Once we got bored of using the green bar, we moved on to newspapers. It was harder to make the airframes rigid, but when we managed it we got some crazy long flight times. One of them just happened to have a flight radius that matched the room and took forever to slowly float down to the ground.
Bookmarked. This is a cool site.
