  2. Aileron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileron

    Ailerons also had the advantage of not weakening the airplane's wing structure as did the wing warping technique, [5] which was one reason for Esnault-Pelterie's decision to switch to ailerons. [16] By 1911 most biplanes used ailerons rather than wing warping—by 1915 ailerons had become almost universal on monoplanes as well.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_plane

    A simple folded paper plane Folding instructions for a traditional paper dart. A paper plane (also known as a paper airplane or paper dart in American English, or paper aeroplane in British English) is a toy aircraft, usually a glider, made out of single folded sheet of paper or paperboard.

  4. Wing warping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_warping

    Since the original Antoinette-style ailerons would have probably been even less effective, unobtrusive "modern" ailerons were inserted – even with these, lateral control remained very poor. [ 4 ] Wing morphing is a modern-day extension of wing warping in which the aerodynamic shape of the wing is modified under computer control.

    Time published an April 2, 1973 article, The Paper-Plane Caper, [2] about the paper airplane and its Kline–Fogleman airfoil. Also in 1973, CBS 60 Minutes did a 15-minute segment on the KF airfoil. CBS reran the show in 1976. [citation needed] In 1985, Kline wrote a book entitled The Ultimate Paper Airplane. [3]

  6. Fixed-wing aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-wing_aircraft

    An airplane (aeroplane or plane) is a powered fixed-wing aircraft propelled by thrust from a jet engine or propeller. Planes come in many sizes, shapes, and wing configurations. Uses include recreation, transportation of goods and people, military, and research.

  8. Flight control surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_control_surfaces

    Using ailerons causes adverse yaw, meaning the nose of the aircraft yaws in a direction opposite to the aileron application. When moving the aileron control to bank the wings to the left, adverse yaw moves the nose of the aircraft to the right .

  9. Red Bull Paper Wings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull_Paper_Wings

    Red Bull Paper Wings is a world paper airplane championship which is held by Red Bull under the rules developed by the Paper Aircraft Association. From the late winter through spring, [when?] a series of qualifiers occur. The results of these qualifiers determine who will represent the national team in the world finals in May.
