Aerodynamically speaking, what is the best paper aeroplane?

Correct, because wind coming down the side of the plane from the front towards the back end experiences a constant slope (at least roughly), also the three dimensional model oscillates up and down correct?

long and thin with most of the mass being concentrated on its achiral axis. the center of gravity should be in the ratio of phi with the shorter end being at the front

is there a picture on google I could find of that?

Also, what about one for distance and/or performing tricks?

well it may be a3 or another size folded but still its not aerodynamic and if it holds the record its only because it was windy

it is A4. you're either counter trolling very poorly or are one of he stupidest people i've ever met.

yes it is a 4 thats what i said the first time. its not aerodynamic. theres no way it holds the record. it maybe stays in the air but it cant be propelled through the air

Then admit you are wrong.

Fake and gay. You don't witness the plane until it finally comes flapping down. They made it such a short time so that nobody would query it. Why do you think nobody has managed to beat this record with the same style plane?

OK confirmed for retard over here. There are heaps of GWR that are hoaxed. Do you really think they send out some 'official world record scientist' to examine every claim? Most times they are happy with a few witnesses if it's something relatively minor (such as the paper plane example).

Learn something about the world, jesus christ fuck....
