Design V4 — Blueprint with Categories

Classic Dart

The one everyone knows. Simple, fast, and surprisingly effective.

Lightning

Named for its speed. A sleek dart that flies fast and straight.

Nick’s Plane

My favourite design of all time. Nick sent this to me and it flies beautifully.

Rapier

A narrow, fast dart. Point and shoot.

Floating Plane

A gentle glider that floats slowly through the air.

Nose Heavy

Designed to be front-heavy for a fast, stable flight.

Napkin Plane

Made from a napkin. Perfect for restaurants when you’re bored.

Paper Blimp

A slow, floaty design that drifts through the air like a blimp.

Paper Frisbee

Not a plane at all — throw it like a frisbee and watch it spin.

Paper Helicopter

Drop it from a height and watch the blades spin as it falls.

Paper Rocket

Wrap it around a straw and blow — launches like a real rocket.

The Swallow

My father’s design from the 1960s. Throw it straight up and watch it swoop and dive like a real swallow.

Origami I

A beautiful pure origami design — no cuts, no tape, just folds.

Origami II

Another elegant origami design with a wider wingspan for graceful gliding.

Sabretooth

Flies fantastically thrown straight up or as a normal glider.

Cobra

My own design — flies straight and fast, amazing to watch.

Trapezium

An unusual shape that flies surprisingly well. Great for experiments.

Flying Fish

One tricky fold but flies brilliantly in a straight line.

Dragon

My own design — flies fast and level for 30 metres.

Edmonton Shadow

A wide-winged glider with a distinctive silhouette.

Dmitri’s Plane

Sent to me by Dmitri — a clever design with great range.

Origami III

The most advanced origami variant — complex folds, stunning flight.
