Editorial Reviews:

Set your imagination flying--with 40 different types of paper airplanes that range from super-simple to sophisticated-looking. There's no need for glue, scissors, or tape; just follow the directions on choosing and folding the paper, and use the principles of flight to get great results. Start with some classic designs, including the dart, basic glider, and gliding toy. Try a modern canard glider, which has stabilizers on the front to create extra lift. For something extra-aerobatic, make a stunt plane that will loop the loop, and even return to you after you launch it. Other high-flying choices include a bomber and a snub-nosed delta. Stunning color photographs of the finished models, plus detailed diagrams and hints, help novice pilots send them soaring.

Summary: Fun with planes!
Comment: The kids had a ball with this book and flying the planes. The only reason I didn't give it a five star is that the title says these are super simple paper airplanes, but some are complicated. Nice book!

Summary: good book
Comment: I don't have any experience in origami etc., so maybe that's why the title "super simple" has seemed surprising to me. These planes are really cool! And just the right gift for my three kids (8, 5 and 4)--they let me decipher the instructions, and then we make planes for hours.

Summary: high-tech, brainy, and fun
Comment: This library book was beaten up: pencil marks, folds, dog-eared pages, and food stains. I can see how it might be so popular. This book features clear instructions on making so many paper airplanes--I can't even imagine how many classmates fell victim to the pointy ends of these low-tech flying machines, but judging by the many types found in this book, the number must be formidable.

The author uses some highly technical language on how planes work, on aerodynamic principles, on drag, launching techniques, names of axes on these contraptions, etc. For the truly interested reader, there's a huge amount to learn...and for the hands-on or mischievous one, some blueprints to myriad of really neat planes. There's a lot in this book, and while it is quite advanced, even younger readers will have fun looking at the colorful folded paper and the possibility of making and launching an aircraft far more interesting than the old-school original we have seen so many times.
