> Why does my paper airplane crash so quickly Much of the time your paper airplane was not folded tightly causing too much drag on the unaligned body. Be sure to make tight folds, which create a streamline flying machine!
> How can I get my paper airplane to fly higher A trick is to throw the plane in the direction of the wind blowing towards you. It will actually lift the plane upwards and may even levitate for a bit, but will not give you farther distance.
> How can I get my paper airplane to perform dives To make your paper airplane dive, go quickly down towards the ground then pull up before crashing, hold your plane as high above your head as you can or throw off of a high area. Good places can be your balcony, stairs or even a stadium. Make sure you fold the tips of the wings up, then point the nose DOWN towards the ground and drop the plane - don't give a thrust.
> How can I make my paper airplane perform a backwards dive To make your plane fly down then loop upside down and backwards, hold your plane as high above your head as you can or throw off of a high area. Good places can be your balcony, stairs or even a stadium. Make sure you fold the tips of the wings up, then point the nose UP towards the sky and drop the plane - don't give a thrust.
