What is it about a paper airplane that fascinates us? Is it our love of flying?
As kids we first started folding some of our school papers into paper airplanes and then sending that paper airplane on a flight across the classroom. Next, we made another paper airplane to torment our teachers and class.
Then, some more creative souls decided that you could create a paper airplane like the one on the left with control surfaces you could change in order to make the paper airplane model do aerobatic maneuvers like loops, rolls and more.

Paper Airplanes That Really Fly!
Dr. Y. Ninomiya then decided to sell his designs in kit form so that paper airplane aficionados could make even more interesting and better flying paper airplanes than the early simple models. Today that line has been expanded and is marketed as Whitewings because of the very bright white paper used to create his models.
His most famous creation is the Heritage Series of 15 Paper Airplanes, some of which were used in the earlier Great Paper Airplane Competitions and heralded the creation of even more interesting paper airplanes.

A Brief History of Paper Airplanes
In the 1930s Jack Northrup, the co-founder of Lockheed, used paper airplanes to test his ideas for building real aircraft, and is generally credited with creating the modern version of paper airplanes.
In the early 60’s Dr. Y. Ninomiya decided to challenge everyone to create better paper airplanes that were more interesting to make and which would fly better than those made out of letter paper.
In order to accomplish this goal he helped organize and participated in the First Great Paper Airplane competition in 1967, followed by the Second Great Paper Airplane competition in 1985. Creating paper airplanes has been taken serious by even NASA, whose Langley AFB created the world’s largest paper airplane in 1992!
