Amazing Paper Airplanes: The Craft and Science of Flight By Kyong Hwa Lee

Just as the title promises, this is a book all 170 pages about paper airplanes. Specifically, it is a guide to making paper airplanes. Author (Lee) delivers lessons in the physics of flight (thrust, drag, lift) as well as what type of paper to choose lighter for smaller, faster planes; heavier paper for jumbo jets. Then he offers detailed folding instructions for aircraft from the most basic glider fifth graders might launch when the teacher's back is turned to twin engine airliners to the most advanced fighter jets. The one word review of this book would be : Fun!About the Author: Lee works in the aerospace industry and has tutorials on how to make paper airplanes at this website AmazingPaperAirplanes.com. (MIRAGE, Spring Issue 2017 from UNM Alumni Association) Amazing Paper Airplanes: The Craft and Science of Flight This was the most played with present throughout the Christmas holidays!! My 11 year old son absolutely loves this book and the planes he made worked brilliantly. (He has used plain paper rather than the templates at the back of the book.) This book deserves a review because it took priority over all things electrical over Christmas!! I would also like to add that this book is definitely complex and challenging enough for adults too! Amazing Paper Airplanes: The Craft and Science of Flight 11 year old loved this and his granddad wanted it too!!! Amazing Paper Airplanes: The Craft and Science of Flight I a using Mr. Lee's book as a workshop with High School Algebra 2 students. I have learned a lot about paper airplanes and the theory behind it. I am combining his book with grc.nansa.org website materials. Amazing Paper Airplanes: The Craft and Science of Flight My 5th graders could follow the directions and fly most planes. Amazing Paper Airplanes: The Craft and Science of Flight

In this book Kyong Hwa Lee combines the art of origami and the science of flight to create unique paper airplane designs for aviation enthusiasts of all ages. Featuring thirty two designs, Amazing Paper Airplanes showcases models resembling real world aircraft, including the F 22 fighter jet, a P 51 World War II plane, the Convair F 102 Delta Daggerâ€the first supersonic delta wing interceptor airplane of the US Air Forceâ€and . For these models, Lee provides information along with an image of the real plane to encourage interest in aerospace technology. Every design has been flight tested and presents complete step by step folding instructions. In addition to showing basic and advanced folding techniques and providing templates for each plane, the author explains the theory behind flight and offers tips to fine tune paper airplanes for optimal flying.
