The Basic Dart - Fold' N Fly

Duration: 1:01

Let's improve the design!

Read the article that shows different ways a paper plane design can be improved.

Some of these could include:

  • Refolding your plane to make the wings more symmetrical, shorter or angled further upwards.

  • Stabilising your plane by adding weight to the front or back of the plane, such as using paperclips or downward folds.

  • Adjusting your throwing action.



Let's re-design a new algorithm!

Re-design a new algorithm that has at least two improvements added to the basic Dart design.

If you need more than 8 steps, add them on as you need.

Take a picture of your new improved paper plane. Alternatively, video your paper plane in action!
