Text by Ken Blackburn; Plane Designs by Ken Blackburn and Jeff Lammers. With the proper amount of lift, the thrust of a good throw, very little drag, and stability, stability, stability (check those elevators and fins!), you just might do it: fly a paper airplane into the record books. Ken Blackburn did. Now this aerospace engineer and paper airplane world record-holder since 1983 teams up with Jeff Lammers, a mechanical engineer, to create an everything-you-need resource for beginning and experienced flyers alike. Mixing science, innovation, and their catching enthusiasm, the world record paper airplane book features: sixteen models, with five full-color versions of each, a full-color pull-out landing strip for accuracy practice, and a flight log. Selection of the Aviator's Guild Book Club, Doubleday Book Club, Astronomy Book Club, and Library of Science Book Club. 773,000 copies in print.

THE GLIDING FLIGHT is a return to paper airplane basics: one person, one piece of paper, and a few folds later, one airplane. Using a refreshingly inventive approach to designs and flying characteristics, you can make 20 original paper planes, such as the Stealth, the Wind Devil, the Glart, and the Skid Kid. The book's flip-book animation demonstrates the basic origami folds, with clear step-by-step assembly for each design. A crease here and there is all you need to create high-performance aircraft — no scissors, no glue. In the current age of electronic toys, THE GLIDING LIGHT proves you can still have fun with a simple sheet of paper and a little imagination.
From the Trade Paperback edition.

Each of the seven models in this colorful book was chosen with super performance in mind. The wingspans are extra wide (ranging from 2 to 2 1/2 feet) and extra stable to allow maximum flight time. The planes are sturdy enough to be flown outdoors and several have been designed with a tow hook that enabled them to be towed into the air, kite fashion, and released at heights up to 150 feet. These free-flying gliders are capable of several minutes or more of flight time.
The size of the models makes them relatively easy to construct, and each comes with complete, detailed instructions for assembling and trimming. All parts are printed in full color and are die-cut for easy removal, and all major fold lines are scored for easy folding.
Try the all-wing design Blade 7, the fast-flying Delta M5, or the virtually stall-proof Yellowbird. big Wing Paper Gliders will provide hours of building and flying enjoyment for modelmakers and paper airplane enthusiasts of all skill levels.

The detailed, step-by-step instructions in this delightful book make it possible to turn an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of paper into a finely trimmed glider that will fly further, faster, and straighter than the average paper plane. Beginning with the basic paper dart, Edmond Hui provides instructions for such designs as:
-the cockpit
-the underfold
-the donkey
-the bomber
-the headscarf
-the paperang
-and more.
Once you've mastered the designs in this book, you can go on to create your own using Dr. Hui's clear, illustrated explanations of aerodynamic theory. Paper plane enthusiasts will find tips on flying the planes in competitions, along with a useful glossary. Whether you've never made a paper plane or are looking for ways to improve your designs, Amazing Paper Planes will bring hours of enjoyment.
