Description: More high-flying fun from Campbell Morris! In this, his third paper planes books, the author turns to the design and construction of high performance paper aircraft. Sections on basis flight theory, advanced concepts in aircraft design and the art of throwing will give the enthusiast further "hands-on" experience in aerodynamics and provide plenty of scope for experimentation and creativity. Sound a bit too high-tech? Don't despair, because included are yet more easy-to-make designs - thirteen in all, ranging from simple, quickly made darts to more complex, thought-provoking models. You can even build a hangar in which to house these creations.
A book for the serious paper plane enthusiast - and for those of lighter heart as well.
