Not quite a paper airplane

I know that this is the place for how to make paper
airplanes yet if you are interested in planes at all
you may enjoy this video clip. My daughter is
attending a magnet school where she is in the
engineering magnet program. This video was
forwarded by the head of the engineering department.

The video is of a model B-29 which is powered by 4
chainsaw engines. While you watch the video keep an
eye out for the Bell X-1 launch from the B-29.

A video on how to make paper airplanes

How to make paper airplanes...

After reading the book "The dangerous book for boys" I was reminded of the fun I had as a kid doing many of the things listed in the book including making paper airplanes. With that thought in mind I decided to find and make available information on how to make paper airplanes for anyone who is interested. When I was at NC State there was even a competiton in the engineering department to see who could make the best paper airplane and who could fly it the farthest distance. Here is a book that gives a lot of information:Paper Airplanes: How to Make and Fly Them
