I know how to make three different kinds. The doubled-blunt nose flies the furthest, and generally in a controllable curve, but (until ithe nose crinkles from too many hits on the wall) the pointer flies the longest and gets the best swoops.
That’s what I used to do with my cat. I’d wad up the paper and throw it and he would chase it and I would have to retrieve it to throw it again. We’d do that until I got tired.
I was in a “team building” workshop one time and that was our project and that was how I won. My wadded up paper went further than any paper airplanes.
