Review:
From Scientific American - Three simple designs are here, guaranteed to be "the best paper airplanes on the planet." We cannot certify that, but the ones we made flew splendidly. The authors are proud of record indoor flights of between 60 and 80 feet, hand-launched. This small guide is as close to physics as to technology, for it suggests the principles of good results--although it also includes precise instructions for the folding. You have to trim a paper airplane; if not, it will fly like a rock. "This is not an opinion. It is a guarantee," and grade-school builders are not excepted. Symmetry is the aim, carefully secured. "The left side MUST look just like the right." Here is how to check on that and how to adjust, with five troubleshooting hints, plus launch instructions for indoors and out. Take care. (Outdoors you might hit a thermal, and your plane can really go out of sight.)

Reviews:
Publisher - Now engineers of any age can soar to new heights with THE GLIDING FLIGHT. This book of original paper airplane patterns is a unique and inventive approach to design that describes flying characteristics and gives clear step-by-step assembly instructions. In an age of electronic games and sophisticated toys, it's reassuring to know that parents and kids can still have fun with a simple sheet of paper.
Customer - My dad bought this book for me years ago, and I memorized and still fold some of the designs whenever I feel down. Anytime I see a somebody make a standard, pointy tip airplane, I make the Starfighter or APDW and blow them away! I only had difficulty folding one plane, but they all fly quite well.

From the Publisher - With over a million copies in print, Workman's PAPER AIRPLANE BOOKS have (if you'll the pardon the expression) literally taken off. Written and put together by Ken Blackburn, the Guinness Book of World Records paper airplane record holder, and Jeff Lammers, a mechanical engineer, the three books in the series are providing hours of fun.
Synopsis - Written and designed for young paper pilots, this book includes everything kids need to fold and fly--and to know why the flying works and how to make it work better. There are 16 models and 76 full-color planes in all, a color pull-out poster of an airport, a pilot's license and a flight log, and a field guide to common aircraft.

Reviews:
Synopsis - The principles of flight and airplane design are elucidated in this book of entertaining experiments with paper airplanes.
Customer - I'd hoped for diagrams for a variety of paper airplanes, but that's not what the book's about.Instead, it deals mostly with the physics of flight. It does suggest useful, inexpensive experiments for those with a scientific bent.

I must say that it is the perfect stocking stuffer and I plan to give many of these unique books away as gifts this holiday season.

Review:
Book Description - With the proper amount of lift, the thrust of a good throw, very little drag, and lots of stability, you might do it: fly a paper airplane into the record books the way Ken Blackburn did. Now this aerospace engineer and paper airplane world record-holder teams up with Jeff Lammers, a mechanical engineer, to create an everything-you-need resource for beginning and experienced flyers alike. Mixing science, innovation, and enthusiasm, The World Record Paper Airplane Book features 100 full-color, ready-to-fold paper airplanes (sixteen models, multiple copies of each), ranging from the simple to the sophisticated.
About the Author - Ken Blackburn has been fascinated with aviation since he was an eight-year-old frequenting the aviation section of his library in North Carolina. He first broke the world record for paper airplane time aloft in 1983 when he was a junior at North Carolina State University, with a 16.89 flight. After graduating magnum cum laude with a degree in aerospace engineering, Blackburn broke the record again. In February 1994, he broke the record yet again with a time of 18.8 seconds.

Review:
Customer - This book is one of the best paper airplane books I have seen that just gives instructions on how to make them out of NORMAL PAPER. No annoying colorful designs you can ONLY make 2 of, this has it all, from the normal dart, to the X-Wing. The first one in the book is called The Master. It's GREAT! My favorite at least. You can also learn to make ninja stars and frogs, helicopters, and a pac-man head. If you love paper planes, get this book!

Average Customer Review: (*****) - out of 5 stars.
Review:
Editor - My dad bought this book for me when I was 9 years old, and I was hooked on making paper airplanes for years--and so was he! This delightful book, first published in 1967, and still in print, brings together plans for the 20 best of the 11,851 entrants from the 1st International Paper Airplane contest sponsored by Scientific American. Some trivia: the smallest entry was .08" x .00003 inches; the largest, 11 feet!. Guaranteed to provide hours of amusement, and possibly even inspire careers in aerodynamics.
Customer - In a world of hi-technology, electronics, computers and robotics, it's amazing such a book is still in print. This book has been a great inspiration for me through the years as it has thought me a lot, not only about folding paper airplanes. It teaches us all that though we may have super-computers today, it's the creativity that matters after all, because the best idea could possibly be the simplest.
