Fighter pilot here, This was awesome dude! Some science to help steer your design choices. Ground effect: the effect of extra lift being generated when the airplane is close to the ground. This happens based on wingspan length and not surface area of the wings. As a pilot you will feel the effects of ground effect once you're about 1/2 the distance above the ground of your aircraft's wingspan. Planes like the T-38 and F-16 I don't feel as much ground affect as say a cessna or a glider, hope that helps next time Underrated channel and hope you grow into something big!
What about a low wing configuration? Too many years ago, I trained on piper Cherokees (PA 28). My first reasonably good landing (ie-one that didn't cause my instructor, a retired B36 pilot, to verify his upper dental plate was still "upper") seemed soooo smooth, I felt like "take that! Chuck Yeager" untill I applied the brakes, which DID NOTHING. My instructor camly sat and said "end of the runway is getting close." I said something like "Uh..." He calmly pushed the yolk forward with his finger. THUD on the nose wheel, then the mains banged down. We didn't rebound, thank the gods, and Pottstown-Limerick airport had a generous overrun with nice, fluffy grass to slow down, and for the prop to weed-wack. While we taxied back to the ramp, he just said "ground effect. Read about it. Again."
Another variable to look out for eith paper planes is after a few throws, the nose is most likely crumpled. This messes with consistency, aero, etc. A lot of the designs i like to fold and fly usually have flat noses or reinforced noses for that reason. Reinforced being usually a few more folds up front making it ridged. This also allows it to fly outside better too with the increased nose weight. Happy flying!
That’s a very similar landing technique as the air force jets use, especially delta wings! I liked this one, I was so happy with the slow mo with the wings wobbling around, super cool. Looks like the average passenger jet roll out. Didn’t think I’ll be so excited with a paper plane when I fly the Airbuses on a daily basis, but there it is!
Nicely done. Attaining natural stability is a huge asset for making an aircraft with nice characteristics. So what you've learnt here will give you a head start for moving on to bigger projects.
Life lesson here: repeating the same thing over and over expecting a different result is insane. Changing it, and never stopping until you succeed: genius.
Me so ignorant. Because I have some experience in aerodynamics, my first thought, nah that can't be done. When the final revealing slow mo of the butter landing appeared, my jaw dropped. Keep doing what you do, you have a great knack for aviation. Well done!
You could have tried folding up the wing-tips, to make little winglets. That makes some paper planes fly much better. And a tail fin too, by tearing the bottom rear centre, and popping it up.
i kept thinking about the weight rear of the CG and simplifying.. and how since steering isnt needed once on the ground, how skids/ reverse wing tip/gear integration and a nose gear can be a Sewing pin. Regardless, your video told a story and this is what makes for a great channel.. keep it up !.. subscribed.
Hey I really like your videos and it gave me inspiration for trying to make my own paper planes like my plane who deploys a smaller plane I'd like if you made a guide on how to make a plane who can land I've been trying for days and I can't really make a paper plane that can perform a smooth landing If possible, thank you so much!
One plane that lands pretty smoothly and can do the sharp incline is The Mantis it’s easy to make and has little winglets that work pretty well for a landing
Pro tip : fold skyking by takau toda and adjust the elevators extremely. This results in smooth landing. Mine landed and again take of in the sky obviously not for long but it is fun to experiment.
100k views is crazy thank you guys for the support I’m planning on making more videos like this!
i want you to make a water landing plane
Now, a tail dragger😈
congrats :D
U mean 200k right?
@@Henry-k5b well ig now
Airline pilot here. This was extremely fun to watch. Thank you!
Crazy how there are no replies. What plane do you fly, and for what airline?

When you don't want to do hw, but still like maths and science, use your hw to make paper plens.
Relatable
Ur teacher will be very happy
you do need ur english hw ig (plens)
@@ilike_white that was intentional
That was deliberate lol
its a joke@@ilike_white
Honestly those camera angles and slow mos at the end made this video 100x better Im so glad you set up those cameras
Don’t forget the slo-mo oh face 🤣
But fr I know those feels so well
This less than 4 min long video felt like a freakin legit documentary on how to build a paper plane that can land smoothly!
No one asked for this, or even thought one should do it. But now I'm completely satisfied that now it's a things. Thanks!

Hello friend! I'm an airline pilot. I loved your video and want to congratulate you on your landings! Bravo!

Thank you very much for this information 👍 I’m planning on doing a lot of future videos about ground effect aircrafts
Let me guess which jet got assigned to you

i want tutorial!!1!111!!
yo you do foil?
Build the launcher so it can smooth landing everytime

The landing part looked like carrier landings
WHY ARENT YOU FAMOUS YET BRO YOU HAVE TALENT
IKR
Im wondering the same thing
Dude you have the aviation spirit! Nicely done! This was so satisfying to watch. Those landings tho!! Love it

bro was folding his homework 💀

His physics teacher would probably take this video as his homework 😂😂
First butter landing done by a paper plane
I've done this way before with my own acrobat 1 design which is in my channel soo ok
Life lesson here: repeating the same thing over and over expecting a different result is insane. Changing it, and never stopping until you succeed: genius.
My throws were all different each time. I said I was changing the angle, height, or the speed each time
This is some great retro noughts youtube content right here. Love the production value, and the airplane! Think it looks rather snazzy as it lands.
I LOVE this!!!!! So simple, something I've wanted to do for the longest!!! Definitely subscribing
This looks incredible I subbed
this is just amazing I have no words and I hope you succeed and get a job in the aviation
bro landed better than a ryanair pilot
GPWS: "100, 50, 40 30 *Alarm* Windshear!"
Paper airplanes are like the 737 MAX-most have a nose-down tendency.
GREAT JOB BRO!!!!
(You performed what I always wanted to see. A paper plane have a good landing.)
some people might call this guy a nerd but he’s a genius
Me so ignorant. Because I have some experience in aerodynamics, my first thought, nah that can't be done. When the final revealing slow mo of the butter landing appeared, my jaw dropped. Keep doing what you do, you have a great knack for aviation. Well done!
You can actually use the standard pinch in method to create a tail drag landing gear. Has the advantage of keeping the weight at the front
You could have tried folding up the wing-tips, to make little winglets. That makes some paper planes fly much better. And a tail fin too, by tearing the bottom rear centre, and popping it up.
So much hardwork into this 👏, good job 👍🏾
Holy that's crazy, sub earned.

3:39 valid reaction tbh 😂
I used to do things like this all the time in middle and highschool. I should have recorded it and posted. Keep it up

Yo this actually underrated experiment
Awesome, well done! Keep going…💪
Can you make a video on how to fold the plane?
This is a revolutionary breakthrough in the paper airplane world
This dude accomplished my childhood dream.
i think ground effect also takes a part here since it creates more lift before touchdown, helping it butter when its already at a decent angle
True
Can you plsss make a tutorial on this plane
I love doing this with my jets
Great vid 👍
WOAH ITS YOU AGAIN
@@AVFL173 sup
Congratulation! You succesfully fixed finally one of the biggest problems since mankind uses paperplanes. 😊
BEST PLANE SPOTTING EVER🔥🔥
woooo, amazing enginering and design, dude, you got it!! 😃😃
Why did i only found out this day your channel! You reignite my paper airplane phase/hobby
Now, make one taking off (or you can't do it)
One time, unintentionally, I made a plane out of paper and every time I threw it it landed perfectly.
Ryanair Should hire this guy!
Absolutely buttered that landing hell yeah nice
Very nice! Keep this up.
That face on the second slo mo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
earned a sub my freind this was crazy
alien spaceship admiral here, great video.
Yo it would be nice if you could share with us the exact instructions for folding it. Awesome vid!
The Ryan Air RIP sent me 😂
Wow man, incredible!
HOW ARE YOU NOT FAMOUS! You should definetly make a tutorial!

omg I remember playing with this same problem when I was younger. love to see it
SALUTE TO THIS BRAVE MAN WITH THE WORKSHEETS!!!!
As a pilot, this is awesome.
Long time student of Paper Aeronautics here. I've never seen anything like this. Well done Sir.
For this kind of content, I am paying my internet bills
BRUH SHOULD WORK FOR AN AIRPLANE MANUFACTURING COMPANY HOLY CRAP🤯🤯
This is the content I’m on yt for 😂
Awesome video sir. 🫡
Best end to a video ever
OH MY GODD HE DID IT!!!!
i love ur channel do more IRL Video like his its so great
Underrated ❤
This guy is underrated
Cool thanks, fyi pva and brown kraft paper strips for spars to strengthen the wings? Laurie. NZ. 😊

smoother than Ryanair
That gear was acting as the largest airbreak.
bro really turned his math homework into a paper plane
BUTTER!! 🧈👌🏼👍🏼
Well done!! 👍🏻
Extremely impressive!
We got paper planes buttering a landing before gta VI
POV: me in class
Real
Teacher: "wheres ur homework?"
Bro: "i made it onto a world record landing paper plane🗿"
Bob Sponge: A thousand times latterrr..... one perfect landing
Wow you inspire me to be an engineer
Mom: "playing with paper planes, youre not a kid anymore"
This guy fr💀:
You have accomplished a lot of childhood dreams
FINALLY MY DREAM OF SEEING A PAPER AIRCRAFT BUTTER🤤🤤🤤🤤🧈🧈🧈🧈
Can you make a tutorial for the plane you made?
THIS IS AWESOOOOME👍👍👍👍👍
You have 17.138k more subs than me. Great job.
Bro can you send the vid where u show step by step how u made the plane😅😊 inspirational vid 😊😊
I’m gonna become a Ryan air pilot one day and teach Ryan air how to land
This deserves 10,0000
Finally found someone having the same hobby as me
I used to make landing gear for my paper aeroplane for an hour's younger too😅
