A different paper airplane

Recently, my son wanted to make a paper airplane to play with and I thought should I make the same old paper airplanes or should I make something different, at the same time teaching my son with the basic concepts of what makes an airplane fly.

I ended up making a paper airplane that looked like the real thing and was around 1.5 feet in length and had a wingspan of around 1.2 feet.  More than that, it flew beautifully!  It can glide to a distance of about 20 feet, flew very steadily and seldom crashed.

You can see it flying here:



To start you'll need the following:

1.  A4 paper (used or unused around 10 pcs)
2.  Scissors
3.  Glue
