JOSEPH PALMER'S PAPER AIRPLANES - http://www.josephpalmer.com/planes/Airplane.shtml
These planes are designed to fly! They are not meant to be models of
real planes, and they are not meant to be pretty display models. (In
fact
they really fly much better if you don't decorate them!) Unlike
the
common schoolyard 'dart' designs, these planes are designed to have
have
lift; if you throw at a point on the ground about 10 feet away — they
will fly up.
