Paper airplanes have long been a part of our popular cultural imagination. But this way of flying is truly a paradigm shift! Phil Rossoni, pilot and physicist, explains how to construct and fly a paper airplane under your control. With a large sheet of cardboard you will modify the wind surrounding the paper airplane both sustaining and controlling it as it flies. So with our paper airplane under our control we are truly following in the footsteps of the Wright Brothers.
