The Difference Between a Paper Glider and a Paper Airplane By Eric

I am going to tell you the difference between a paper glider and a paper airplane. A paper glider is something that does not need an engine and it only uses moving air. A paper airplane is a plane that needs an engine to fly, which is more difficult to make from paper. I am telling you this because most people call a paper glider a paper airplane, and that is incorrect. 

In order to make a paper airplane you need an elastic band, scissors, and finally paper.  You take a piece of paper, and you fold the paper in a hot dog fold (lengthwise). Then you should have two corners.  You take one corner and fold it to the middle line that you just made, and then you push the corner line down. Repeat for the other side. Next, you take the first corner, fold it again to the center line, and do that for the other corner too.  After that, you fold the wings by folding the top long piece down to wherever you want and make the wing on the other side the same.  That’s how to make a paper glider. To make your paper glider into a paper airplane, you need to cut a slit on an angle on the bottom glider body about 10 to 15 cm from the front.  Put the elastic band into the slit. Pull the elastic back. Let it go, and it should fly.

I like paper gliders because they do not take as long to make as paper airplanes do. There are a lot of different types of paper you can use for a glider and not so many types of paper you can use for paper airplanes. The things I like about airplanes are that there are different  types of airplanes, and that not a lot of people make them. There are some people making different types of them now, and I like finding out about new new gliders and airplanes.
