Best Answer

The weight, if concentrated towards the paper airplane's front, will make the plane a stunt plane. If balanced, the plane will be a glider or a dart. The Paper Aeronautics Association (http://www.paperaeronautics.org/tipsforagoodplane) have more tips on their website. it will work

Weight adds to the inertia giving the plane more momentum in flight. Yes!

The lighter the easier it is for gravity to push it down. The heavier the harder it is to push it down . Everything thing that comes up must go down but the lighter it is the faster it comes down.

Will the nose of a paper airplane affect flight?

Not so much the shape of the nose that affects the flight of a paper plane, but the weight. If the weight of the plane isn't distributed properly the angle of attack is too small or to large making the plane nose dive or stall. Make sure there is weight in the center of gravity of your model.


Does weight affect the paper airplane?

If it is too heavy, it will drop down. If it is too light, It is vulnerable to the slightest gust of wind. It is best to make it in-between(the average weight of a paper airplane)

yes. if you put it on one of the wings and try to fly it, it may tilt a little bit. it will affect the course you want it to take.


Does air temp affect the flight of a paper airplane?

Yes, because on hot days for instance, paper airplanes can catch thermals.


Does duct tape affect how a paper airplane fly?

duct tape will affect the flight if you use a certain amount of it because of the weight but if you only use a few pieces it shouldn't make too much of a difference


How does weight effect paper airplanes?

if you place a paper clip on your paper airplane, you may find it improves performance by equalizing the load (weight) and lift (what the wings generate)
