The World Record Paper Airplane Book

Our grandchild has been making paper airplanes for many years. He loved this book but it took a year or two for him to get interested in, it after purchased. This is why I would recommend for Children’s 7and up.

We've purchased a number of paper airplane books, and this is by far our favorite. If you are interested in the basics of how planes fly, it has a brief introduction. Then it has a section that talks about the different paper models. Some of them are inspired on historic airplanes, and the authors give little pieces of trivia on those. For each plane they also explain how the plane will fly, the best way to throw them, and adjustments to make if the plane doesn't fly as expected. The last section includes colorful paper, with cool designs. There are several copies of each airplane (so perfect for a small group of kids), and the instructions are clear to follow by anyone 6 years and up (maybe even younger). They are simple - most only need folding - and fun to fly. Highly recommended for hours of fun and educational value.

I had this book when I was a kid and I gave it to my niece. Same airplanes and same quality paper and colorful planes as I remembered. It's a great collection of designs with a wide range of difficulties, from dead easy to something an adult would need to reasonably concentrate to fold and cut.

My 6 year old considers himself a paper airplane making expert so he was very excited to get this book. Pros: 1. Exciting, colorful paper airplanes (if you can manage to make them). 2. Directions are clear and easy enough for my 6 year old to follow. Cons: 1. Some of the perforated edges cut into the design destroying the plane before you even try to remove the paper from the book. 2. It's nearly impossible to remove the pages from the book without ripping (and thus destroying) the paper airplane before you even start. Part of this is due to Con #1 (stated above) and part of it is due to the poor function of the perforated edges. 3. In some of the designs, the lines on the front of the design do not match the lines on the back of the design. So, there is some guesswork required in figuring out where to fold and cut. Of note: 1. There are 20 different designs for you to make with a few copies of each design. This comes in handy when you rip a tiny piece of the page while carefully trying to remove it from the book. (See Con #2). 2. The Cons are not deal breakers. I still recommend this book. Just be prepared to be very frustrated.

Best entertainment to get kids off of techno gadgets. Weeks of fun. Builds engineering and geometry skills.

My third grader had a market day where the kids get to come up with a business, name it and make the products to sell. He and his partner chose to do paper airplanes and this book was a total hit for the two of them. They didn't make much money but I think they had more fun learning the cool new airplanes to make. The patterned paper that is in the book is really cool, wish it was easier to tear out for kids, it seemed to tear easy but I think it's because they weren't doing just right. My favorite one that I didn't think would really fly was the cylinder. It totally flies and so easy to make along with the helicopter thing. It's a lot of fun and totally recommend even for just having for rainy days or the kid who loves making paper airplanes!

I was making paper airplane with my 6 y/o and remembered this book from when I was a kid. Surprisingly I found it for sale here and had to order it and see if it’s as good as I remembered, and I have to say I am not disappointed. There are tons of pre-designed planes you can tear out from the book and create,with clear instructions and precise lines printed for each. Also contains tons of information on designing your own, techniques, aerodynamics, etc. Fun activity for the kids that will most likely teach everyone something.

This is the Book to get for the ultimate paper airplanes, all others are merely cheap imitations! This book has been around for over 25 years because I had one as a kid.

ok

Great

I bought this book for my son's 8th birthday, as we love making and adapting paper airplanes. It has 20 designs you can make with the special paper included. They also fly well made from ordinary paper. Some designs you think will never work, but what wonderful surprises you get. The instructions are clear, and there is essential advice on flight adjustment by putting elevators and rudders on your planes. It is an easy to read book packed full of enthusiasm. A wonderful thing to share with your children. Easily worth the money.
