I don't care what anybody says. I think it's awesome that he is sharing his videos. i for one loved paper airplanes as a kid and still do till this day. seeing this video inspired me the get creative. i made an advanced omniwing yesterday and it flies great. thanks menamiketrx i will subscribe
I love making omniwings every day. Its fun and cool. Im 9 years old and i started making them hen i was 6. Thanks to this video i know how to fly it better!
I am still building paper airplanes to this day at the age of 67. Also still flying hang gliders and riding mountain bikes. Got to keep the mind and body active. Best to you.
Awesome tutorial on building the omniWing, made one for my boys and they love it only addition I made was to make a little handle on the bottom out of tape. I was a little worried that I had to use shipping tape instead of scotch tape as I had no scotch tape and the shipping tape is a lot heavier but it worked like a champ. Thanks for taking the time.
Never to old to play and have fun. Plus I do enjoy the challege of trying to make very high performance gliding craft from paper. I hope that you, Adrian, also never loose the ability to play.
Lovely! Just a piece of paper giving so much fun. This is american genius i really like. No bullets no guns, no screaming, no killing. Thanks a lot for giving me back some of my trust
Yes.... The inherent stability is built within this design. It will always correct back to stable flight after getting buffeted about by turbulence. Just like a good glider should. Glad you appreciate the design.
Just build one at the hospital where I'm at. And I really dig it! I'm now working on a rc one thats slightly bigger than the previous one so I can build the stuf init needs! ! Thanks for your help and directions to build it!!
wordreet With proper scale, maybe up to 6 ft wingspan, one could get the material to warp, then hot glue in place, work out the double surface and elevons. I am up to the challenge to try this material.
Agreed. Despite my 3 decade infatuation with this design, I am still amazed at it's performace, stability, scaleability, and ease of modification. Thank you for your comment.
I have taken an OmniWing and the attached it to a traditional Dart style paper airplane and it worked fairly well. The Dart providing a downward fin of which can be used to grab for launching as well as being a method for providing for a hard toss.
Totally enjoyed the video & appreciated the thought that has gone into this. I look forward to trying to build these gliders myself & having fun with my nephews, thanks!
Firstly, I AM on a random video spree, and your passion on short film made me stay, so congrats! This seems fast and interesting. Secondly, the music video and overall aesthetic presentation is a relic from the 80's. The whole time I was hoping Beverly Hills Cop or some other Californian 80's cliche would make their presence known. Not to be offensive, I am too from the 80's period but it's REALLY old for 2012, kinda nostalgic.
If the contest was purely a glide ratio contest, there are not many that would compete. I did compete in some indoor contests for distance in the 1970's, and would always beat all the competition. Even was able to beat the balsa wings that were competing. I like the OmniWing for it's stability, and low sink rate and high glide ration. I also lik the flexibility in the design which allows for lots of modifications to suit various conditions. Again I pay much respect for the Origami crowd.
Hi, thank you so much for making videos to show how to make omniwings, I've built all the omniwing, proto omniwings and even the advanced omniwing. Can you please post more videos for how to make other kinds of omniwing ? Thank you so much!
Maybe you are making a reference to the Paperang. Yes the two wings are very similar in design but Dr. Hue of the Paperang goes about the build in a very different maner. I had the oppotunity to speak with Dr. Hue a number of years ago, and we were both amazed how we both came up with similar idea for a paper glider. Probably had to do with the fact that we both started Hang Gliding in the early 70's and pursued paper planes in an effort to better understand flight of flying wings.
Would love to see a video of some of your flights. Maybe something you could do in the future and the do a video response to my video. Glad you are showing this to your nieces and nephews.
Thanks! They are beautiful! Have you ever seen Ralph Barnaby's designs? IIRC his go back to 1910 when he knew the Wright brothers. There's an out of print book from 1968 titled How To Make And Fly paper Airplanes that goes over them including his flying wings. One difference is that his are straight wing while yours are swept wing which may cut drag but his can have a high aspect ratio (narrow wing) which also cuts drag. I haven't visited your page so I don't know about yours but he cambers the wings by warping the paper. For speed use less curve, for aerobatics use more. Amazon's got used copies of the book for less than $5 each but quality varies.
Grant: Flight is actually all about science. Whether it be a commercial aircraft, B2 Bomber, Sailplane, Hang Glider, Paraglider or yes... a paper airplane, a good amount of science is involved. I fly hang gliders and ultralight aircraft, and I take flight very serious. And yes, when I talk about my paper airplane designs, I am a bit serious. But I see all the same design science being incorporated into my paper wings. It is a hobby of which I admit that I am a bit obsessed. Go build one.
Some fans have reported the they added a little vertical fin on the bottom on the center line to serve as a handle. I of course have been launching these for decades, and I am very comfortable with the launch.
This is cool! People are always gunna hate no matter what you do. Yet they are the ones with no ambition or character to do anything different than what everyone else does!
@ludigolub123 What you have discovered is that the OmniWing serves as an excellent platform from which one can make unlimited modifcations. That is what has captured my attention for over 3 decades of fiddling with the basic concept. Best to you and happy flying.
Just really nice! Very good of you to share your knowledge and interest. I guess I'll have to try making a few of these. Where I live, Sweden, we have A4 paper as the standard letter size. A4 has somewhat different dimensions and the ratio of length to width will be a bit different from standard letter size, but it oughta work!
I have experimented with different weights and different finishes. If paper is to thick, it will be resistant to the twist procedure. Paper that is more resistant to humidity is great. So often I find the higher quality printer paper to be about the right weight, and have resistance to humidity while also allowing for the twisting procedure to establish washout.
You are correct. Any aircraft that is not powered is a glider, thus always descending through the surrounding air. The Advanced OmniWings shown in the video demonstrate a glide ratio of about 16 to 1. 16 feet forward for each foot of descent. Quite similar to the glide ratios of the modern flex wing hang gliders.
Seems to be a bit snarky of a comment. 1 Million views, from a pretty small population of individuals that have an interest in paper airplanes. Certainly not as large of a population as MineCraft. Now move on JoJo, and see if you can even come close to ramping any single of your videos above 100 views. Question I have, why did you even click on the link to the video. I presume you have a curiosity about paper airplane flight. I do have a number of videos on my channel that shows how to build a variety Of OmniWing Paper Airplanes. Give it a try.... You might enjoy!
With my omni wing if i throw it right on a slight slope it does loops at an angle and gets faster and faster like a geothermal glider i made it 30 mins ago throwing it in the garden , GOOD FUN !!! Usually i fly rc planes and even this amuses me lol
Make sure your twist is equal on each side. If twist is to the left try tuning in some extra washout into the right wing fy reflexing the trailing edge of the right wing up a little. But ultimately it comes down to making sure that each wing half has the same twist.
You are a funny guy... Actually a few years ago, I did buy a Chevy Van from my mother. It was all fixed up. No windows, all shag carpet inside. A kitchen and indeed a fold out bed. But I was always the victim of jokes about van and it's use, so I had to sell it.
Wonderful omniwing flight demo straight I like to make them too with paper I got a rc flying wing I fly it I enjoyed this video with flying wing's paper aeroplane
Very cool gliders, have you tried flying them where there is a small into wind "ridge", something like a road embankment and then get them to track along it in a very light breeze? I imagine the proto-omni would be great at "ridge" soaring.
LOL.... One would think, but we recently celebrated our 40th anniversary. I guess she really did not know what she was getting into, but right after we got married I started hang gliding and building paper airplanes. So what did she do. She decided to join in on the fun, and started flying with me on my tandem hang glider. Also, she now looks forward to the little check from Google each month for revenues collected. Whether it be hang gliding or mountain bikeing she has been by my side.
@chrisbntz34 The little triangle (chunk) of folded paper that goes on the nose of the Proto-OmniWing is there. I watched in 720p and am able to see it. As far as the fold of the Proto-OmniWing, it follows the steps of the OmniWing up to a point. The Proto ends up with a narrower nose angle than the OmniWing, and most important difference, the Proto establishes washout at the tips with a single crude fold, where the Omni does so with the spanwise twist method. I hope I have been clear.
Hi menamiketx, I really like your videos. They are really good and always interesting to watch. So I was thinking about putting some really small propellers under each of the omniwings wings. Just some small ( really freaking small) propellers for just a little thrust would be perfect for this wing, but i don't know, would the weight of the propellers be to much for the for the wing or would it work?
wish i knew how 2 do this long time ago, all the nephews nieces loved staying over with me. But, I now have the grand nieces nephews. Front porch 14ft high. IDK how high second story window, but makes for a long flight. I see this as fun with them not about pick up line. My kids grown but they get a kick out of the young 1's amazement as well.
I beg to differ... A curiosity about the things around us and how things work is a very healthy thing. te building of paper airplanes allows us not only to capture that fun we had as children, but if we are willing... we can even use the craft as a means of understanding more about flight, aerodynamics and micrometeorology. Stay curious my friened.
I think it would be possible with some challenges. The center keel would have to be stiffened to withstand the compression forces of the wound band. Next challenge would be getting the thrust line correct. If you simply have the propeller thrust line based on the band running on either the top of the bottom of the wing, the thrust angle will be too high and will want to cause the wing to dive under power. Third is the rotational input from the prop causing the wing to turn. Worth a try???
Actually this is what happens when one has a deep interest in flight and in the natural world around us. Yes, I do fly paper airplanes, but also remote control aircraft, have flown hang gliders since 1973, I sail Hobie Cats, Race Mountain Bikes and have designed my own recumbent mountain bike. I also play racquetball, do a bit of rock climbing. Oh... also own an xbox, but enjoy RTS games such as Starcraft more. Just don't have the reaction time to play modern warfare. Best to you.
you should try them out inside a big building, like a shopping mall or something like that, if you do it in there you should get better results, since the air isnt affecting the airplanes negatively
Not sure what "Normal Paper" is. But I always try to use a good quality printer paper. You want paper that is resistant to humidity, thus the finer the finish on the surface of the paper the better. For example, you colored construction paper, although it would be great to build wings with different colors, it does not stand up to abuse, and deforms with humidity. I also try to use waste printer paper as well.
Don't be afraid to tweek the wing a bit, it is not flying up to par. Flying to fast? Slow it down with some bending of of the trailing edge "up" a bit. Just a little does a lot. Flying to slow? Do just the opposite. Good luck... After a few builds you probably will get better.
I went on extended vacation shortly after i commented. I just made it to the bottom of 400+ inbox..LOL. I flew from Bayou La Batre,AL to Portland Oregon, then drove back. I had some amazing flights at 8 too 10,000 feet elevation near wind farms! Unfortunately i didn't know my new camera/recorder wasn't working. operator not the camera.
I am so happy that watching the OmniWings fly has made you so happy and gay. Especially since we are appoaching the Holidays! It is so important that we be happy and gay during this special time of the year, and I am glad to have played a small part in making your life a little brighter. I wish the best for you.
I'm not gonna lie. I was blown away when I saw these flights. With you knowledge you could totally create a market for this stuff. By the way the music is hideous where did you get it? Maybe I could point you in the direction where you could find some more contemporary stuff? But over all you are a genius!
Can you use other kinds of paper to build the omni wing ? I was wondering there is a kit I have seen where you can actually put a small electric motor on a paper airplane that would be cool to be able to keep the omni in sustained flight
Rather than a throw, it is more of a push. With practice you will find the speed at which the wing flys, and you will find the proper angle at which to launch. Also, must rule out whether the wing needs a little tuning. Let me know what the wings are doing after you launch. Maybe I can help dianose a build or tuning issue. Also, some have found that adding a little downward vertical tab on the bottom of the wing can provide a launch that works for them.
Hey Mike, I'm after a glider which is quite directional and stable but also has quite considerable range as it is flown in a large area indoors. Which glider would you recommend for the job?
Some methods for additional stability. 1. More twist in the wing halves 2. Less of a nose angle 3. Try adding wing tip spoilers, that is bending thelast 1/4 to 3/8 inch of wing tip downward or upward at 90 degree bend. The crease should be parrallel to the center line of the wing. Check the video on my channel "OmniWing Modifications". Good luck to you.
I don't care what anybody says. I think it's awesome that he is sharing his videos. i for one loved paper airplanes as a kid and still do till this day. seeing this video inspired me the get creative. i made an advanced omniwing yesterday and it flies great. thanks menamiketrx i will subscribe

Tell me about it, I miss being a kid anything was fun
Yeah... I have been totally geeked out over this design now for over 3 decades.
Awesome tutorial on building the omniWing, made one for my boys and they love it only addition I made was to make a little handle on the bottom out of tape. I was a little worried that I had to use shipping tape instead of scotch tape as I had no scotch tape and the shipping tape is a lot heavier but it worked like a champ. Thanks for taking the time.
Haven’t seen this vid in a long time, still awesome
I spent so much time making these as a kid! You really made something really cool and fun!
Hey.... thanks for revisiting. So great to here from the fans.
Others have done the little handle thingy, to aid in launching. It is a good idea. Glad you are sharing this craft with the boys.
Never to old to play and have fun. Plus I do enjoy the challege of trying to make very high performance gliding craft from paper. I hope that you, Adrian, also never loose the ability to play.

love it that there are people out there doing this. seems like you have a good understanding of it. thanks for the upload
I have an exam tomorrow and I am sitting here learning about making paper planes so that I have something to do in the examination hall
How did you do on the exam 3 years ago
@@owenkirschner5343 Dag gammit I was going to ask him that
FINALLY I FOUND YOU AGAIN AFTER YEARS OF NOT THINKING ABOUT IT SINCE CHILDHOOD, IM GONNA MAKE ONE THIS TIME
Excellent. Hope you enjoy and have success.
Just build one at the hospital where I'm at. And I really dig it!
I'm now working on a rc one thats slightly bigger than the previous one so I can build the stuf init needs! !
Thanks for your help and directions to build it!!
Hmm, Coroplast RC Omniwing? Sounds like an idea!
Would love to see your project.
wordreet With proper scale, maybe up to 6 ft wingspan, one could get the material to warp, then hot glue in place, work out the double surface and elevons. I am up to the challenge to try this material.
Trying to work out how I can get 2.4 x 1.2 mtr sheets home if I get them delivered to my work place.
I personally think this plane is pretty cool. I mean 1 piece of paper can do this and can fly however far. Thumbs up for making it!
Agreed. Despite my 3 decade infatuation with this design, I am still amazed at it's performace, stability, scaleability, and ease of modification. Thank you for your comment.
Nothing better than to pass on some great fun and knowledge to the young one's. Best to you.
I have taken an OmniWing and the attached it to a traditional Dart style paper airplane and it worked fairly well. The Dart providing a downward fin of which can be used to grab for launching as well as being a method for providing for a hard toss.
These your paper aircraft have a very smooth flight and go away, congratulations!
How can anyone dislike this?.....uber cool dude. Well done and a big thumbs up
Totally enjoyed the video & appreciated the thought that has gone into this. I look forward to trying to build these gliders myself & having fun with my nephews, thanks!
Yeah..... My favorite pick up line... "Soooo.... you like paper airplanes?" and it is a done deal....
Firstly, I AM on a random video spree, and your passion on short film made me stay, so congrats! This seems fast and interesting.

My original design.... Started working on this design in 1973. Still folding and flying the OmniWings to this day.
Practice, practice, practice... You are looking at our decades of me perfecting this design.
It flies amazingly far and glides realy well

Thanks for the good word bro. I don't mind the haters. They add to the view count just as well and I enjoy having a go at them.

I made this kind paper glider. I used black paper and I shaped it to look like B-2 bomber.
It flew well and stealthly......

This was cool nice video
Hello i am From Lebanon i used to build it with a tail and calibrate it's gliding and direction , try it ,works like magic.
I rather enjoyed the movie kinda takes me back to highschool when we got to watch a documentary. I loved those documentaries.
You have learned well, by young ACCFMasterof2012. You will go far in life.
Fantastic very good
Awesome airplanes man wish would know how to them..
My gosh! These are awesome!!! You got my sub :D
very good job !
I actually make similar design but with a flattened nose. It's good for loops and acrobatics.

Rather than a throw, it is more of a push. With practice you will find the speed at which the wing flys, and you will find the proper angle at which to launch. Also, must rule out whether the wing needs a little tuning. Let me know what the wings are doing after you launch. Maybe I can help dianose a build or tuning issue. Also, some have found that adding a little downward vertical tab on the bottom of the wing can provide a launch that works for them.
Hey Mike,
I'm after a glider which is quite directional and stable but also has quite considerable range as it is flown in a large area indoors.
Which glider would you recommend for the job?
Awesome vedio cool bro
Some methods for additional stability.
1. More twist in the wing halves
2. Less of a nose angle
3. Try adding wing tip spoilers, that is bending thelast 1/4 to 3/8 inch of wing tip downward or upward at 90 degree bend. The crease should be parrallel to the center line of the wing.
Check the video on my channel "OmniWing Modifications". Good luck to you.
