Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 4 Up-Sleek, slick, and beautiful, this volume is just the ticket for paper-airplane enthusiasts. The 18 projects are sophisticated and demanding, designed to be constructed carefully, and arranged in order of increasing complexity. Schmidt begins with a brief discussion of how an airplane flies, followed by a glossary of aeronautical terms. The first four models involve a single sheet of paper carefully scored and folded; the remainder require folding, cutting, gluing, and, often, more than one piece of paper. Background information for each model includes similarities to real-life airplanes based on the particular shape of their fuselage and wing. The book features crisp white diagrams, clear black-type, step-by-step instructions, yellow boxes of special construction information, and magnified views of tricky sections. Anyone studying flight would learn a great deal from these models and have fun in the process.

From Booklist
Gr. 3-7. Schmidt's how-to book on making paper airplanes takes its subject seriously. The result is a well-thought-out and handsome volume that should provide successful projects for careful readers. Included are 18 projects, increasing in complexity from the simple "Egret" to the "Nighthawk," which is modeled on the Lockheed F117. Schmidt also offers brief facts about how airplanes fly as well as tips on basic construction. His ideas for coloring and decorating the projects make the "paper birds" extra special. Adult guidance may be required for many of the projects. Denia Hester

Great introduction for adults and children,
By Ken Zirkel "Kickstand" (Somewhere in New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best Ever Paper Airplanes (Paperback)
This is a great introduction to paper airplanes for the novice. The models range in complexity from easy to difficult, providing a challenge for both kids and adults. Best of all is a brief comparison of each model with specific models of actual airplanes, and a brief primer on flight principles. Taken together, this book is a great lesson in aviation, as well as a lot of fun.

Excellent book,

This review is from: Best Ever Paper Airplanes (Paperback)
Since I bought this book month ago I have spent hours of quality time with my 10 year old son, and I am looking forward to spend more. The paper planes in this book are not too complicated to build, but require from kid or adult to acquire skills in reading blueprints and accurately folding paper, adjusting planes to fly properly and more. All you need is letter paper, glue stick, something to color the plane as an option, and you are ready to enjoy the process. The results are amazingly: all sorts of planes that fly straight path or loops or glide, all different all exciting.
