: If the plane keeps diving, slightly bend the back edges of the wings upward . If it keeps curving left, adjust the right wing slightly.
: Ensure the edges of the wings are not frayed or bent upward, as this creates drag/air resistance .
: Unlike a standard dart, the Suzanne uses a unique series of internal folds that "lock" the nose together, giving it weight and stability. cand_toti_fratii_se_aduna_at_suzanasidacianavla...
: Fold the wings so that the body of the plane (the part you hold) is relatively small, allowing for a large surface area to catch the air. Tips for a "Proper" Paper (Flight Stability)
: Start by folding the paper in half lengthwise to create a center crease, then fold the top corners down to meet that line. : If the plane keeps diving, slightly bend
If you are instead looking to create a (Coptic binding), you would need to group your paper into signatures/folios and sew them together using a curved needle .
The "Suzanne," designed by John Collins , is engineered for long-range gliding. Achieving the world-record distance (over 226 feet ) requires extreme accuracy and symmetry during the folding process. : Unlike a standard dart, the Suzanne uses
: For maximum distance, launch the plane at roughly a 45° upward angle .
