  • Question
    Why doesn't my standard dart plane fly well?
    Community Answer
    You may have too many creases on the piece of paper. The more wrinkled the paper, the shorter the distance the plane will fly.

  • Question
    Why is it called a dart plane?
    Community Answer
    It is called a dart plane because you throw it the same way you would throw darts at a dartboard. Also, they fly very straight and quite far as a dart would.

  • Question
    My airplane didn't look right, and it didn't work at all. What could I have done wrong?
    Community Answer
    Maybe your paper's length or width is wrong. It could also be a problem with the weight or texture of the paper you used.

  • Question
    How far will a dart paper airplane fly?
    Community Answer
    It depends on how well you fold the plane. If you build it very well, it generally will go anywhere from 30 to 60 feet. How you throw the dart also is a factor.

    What's the best paper airplane to make for a school project?

    If you are going for something basic, use the typical blunt-nosed paper airplane; it's extremely easy to build, and has a simple design and a great flight distance.
