What is the best design for a paper airplane to fly the farthest?
If you are looking for the furthest flying paper airplane that can really go the distance, we recommend The Bird. This design is relatively easy to fold, and if it is adjusted carefully it can glide for a very long distance. To optimize your throw for distance, try tossing this paper airplane at a 45° upward angle.

What is the best size for a paper airplane?
8.5 x 11 inch
From our experiment, it would appear that the smallest airplanes are the worst performers, followed by the largest airplanes. There was a sweet spot around the middle, with the best performer being the paper airplane that started with a 6.6 x 8.5 inch size. The regular size 8.5 x 11 inch paper came in a close second.

The aerodynamics of the plane will need to have little drag and be light enough to defy gravity. Paper airplanes also use the forces of lift and thrust.
