Fold and Fly Paper Airplanes
Up, up and away! The whole family will love this exciting class. Young kids learn ways to fold different types of paper airplanes and how to launch them. Older “kids-at heart” will enjoy creating balsa wood or rubber band flyers. At the end of each class there will be contests like the most creative design, the longest flight, and the best landing. This class is offered by the District and partners with the Coachella Valley Radio Control Club. They will demonstrate an Electric Remote Flyer and show you how it works. Making and flying paper airplanes is great fun, and so is watching them fly. Come fly with us! |

Lift vs. Gravity
When you drop a piece of paper – no matter what the shape – it falls immediately to the ground. This of course, is gravity. But if you throw your piece of paper or airplane, something holds it in the air a little longer. That “something” is lift and it’s a force just like gravity.
In flight, lift and gravity are constantly fighting over the little ol’ paper airplane. As long as lift wins, the plane goes up. But when gravity takes over, and it always will, your plane will crash to the ground. Lift is helped or not, by the types of wings built on your plane, the elevators or ailerons used, etc. You just have to experiment with each of your paper airplanes to find the right balance
