Paper plane tube

Do you stink at making a decent paper airplane? So break the paper plane tube and follow this Instructable to make an awesome flying tube! This design was supposedly created by world-record paper airplane thrower John Collins. It's easy and only requires a single sheet of paper.

The Tube doesn't look like much, but it can certainly fly! It spins as it flies. It gets its directional stability from how quickly that it's spinning. But more importantly, that's how it derives its lift, from how fast it's spinning. The special boundary layer effect, the little gobs of air gets stuck in all the tiny imperfections, microscopic imperfections in the surface of this plain, and the faster it spins, the more it can interact with the surrounding air and develop lift. The upshot is as it's spinning this way, it can shove enough air off of that side and lift it up like that, so because it's moving forward through the air like that. So very interesting aircraft.

Fold over about 1 inch of the rubber tubing and wrap it tight with a piece of wire. Twist the wire tight with the pliers and as doing so, form a loop about 1 inch in diameter in the wire. Attach one end of the ribbon to the other end of the rubber tub with a piece of wire. Twist the wire tight. Slip the wire loop over the screw shaft of the C-clamp. Tighten the clamp to the end of a table. Lay the tube and ribbon across the table. Place the paper tube on top of the ribbon at its free end and roll it up snugly in the ribbon. While keeping the ribbon from slipping, pull the paper tube back to stretch the rubber tubing. Release the tube. The tube will be spun as the ribbon is pulled off the tube while at the same time it is pulled forward by the contracting rubber tube.

Hold the tube lightly between your fingers and thumb and throw it like a football, letting it roll off your fingers to make a nice tight spiral.

Do you stink at making a decent paper airplane? So break the mold and follow this Instructable to make an awesome flying tube! This design was supposedly created by world-record paper airplane thrower John Collins. It's easy and only requires a single sheet of paper. Let's get started! Start with your paper in "landscape" orientation and fold down the top third of the paper. Make a nice crease. Now fold the top down to the edge that you folded down. Do it one more time.

Honor Eye Tracking 1. The tube will begin flying and it will do so as long as its air speed and rotation are maintained. Hold the tube lightly between your fingers and thumb and throw it like a football, letting it roll off your fingers to make a nice tight spiral. You can see all the layering right there. That's a crease right there. And now we're going to push in just so you can see I'm rounding it out just by going around there, smoothing it out and it becomes, and really, kind of an extraordinary circle here. You can do this with your hands, or by rubbing it on the edge of a table. It's not even in not even touching the plane. So what I'm gonna do is just go around that edge about mm, I don't know, two, three millimeters, you know, something like a little bit less than a quarter of an inch. We're gonna pick it up on this camera over here, and we're gonna roll it over the edge of the table to sharpen the crease and we're just gonna work it back and forth. Congratulations; you're done! It's a lot of layers to control. There's a single layer on either, you got a short single layer and a long single layer on one side, and I'm gonna put just put my finger in there just to hold that open. The tube's surface experiences a small amount of friction with the air. It's easy and only requires a single sheet of paper.

It's a great indoor plane. Basically, as long as the folded end is in the front, you will have fairly good luck with your throws. And it's okay if the layered part is a little bit bigger. You can also hold it from the back end with your fingers and fling it that way. The upshot is as it's spinning this way, it can shove enough air off of that side and lift it up like that, so because it's moving forward through the air like that. Congratulations; you're done! Right here is what we're gonna fix next. Round paper airplane. Twist the wire tight. Learn to Fold the 'Canard' Paper Airplane. The smooth side of the paper is up, the layered part is down. You know, one thumb width. Fold over about 1 inch of the rubber tubing and wrap it tight with a piece of wire.
