Description: With a piece of paper, a few office supplies, and *The Paper Ace*, you can develop airplanes that fly longer, faster, and farther than conventional paper aircraft.

Step-by-step instructions for the 10 aerodynamically superior designs in this book include line drawings and photographs of the finished planes. The directions are so easy to follow that even novices can enjoy the thrill of flight in minutes. You'll also learn the principles of flight so you can begin to create your own high-performance planes. Let your imagination soar as you rise to the challenge of inventing the plane of your dreams.

Pilot Peter Vollheim's hands-on approach teaches you how to construct better aircraft with the knowledge that: making the wing larger will produce a longer glide, cutting in extra flaps can increase time aloft, increasing a plane's weight will enable it to withstand windy conditions, reducing and refining the wing will produce planes perfect for launching from tall buildings.

*The Paper Ace* guarantees sure-fire tips for attaining maximum altitude, distance, and in-flight time. It is the ultimate guide for paper airplane enthusiasts.
Notes: Includes color illustrations.
