Description: Follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/nickuhas Share This Video: youtu.be/_cX_cyOhHyU I saw a video on TikTok of a huge paper airplane and thought it was awesome, so I went on YouTube and saw some other videos of people making these giant foam paper airplanes. The one thing I noticed however is that all of the planes had flat wings and did not have any airfoil shapes to their wings. While flat wings do in fact create lift, the force keeping the plane in the air, having wings that are more in an airfoil shape is much more optimal for increasing glide distance (which is what we’re going for). There are a ton of physics for creating the perfect wing shape but today I wanted to take a stab at redesigning the giant foam “paper airplane” with a little added airfoil shape and see how it fairs being thrown off a huge mountain peak!
