there are four main parts of paper flight.

  • thrust
  • lift
  • drag
  • weight

thrust is the motorized power of the throw. It depends on the plane to determine how to throw it.

lift is when the wings take action. the wings are catching the air below them to support the plane.

drag is folds of paper in the back of the plane.

weight is the folds of paper that bring the plane downward.

airfoil/airflow is partly related to lift. it is the impact of the wind going above and below the plane.

a paper airplane can do so many things!
