工程师、金氏记录获得者，教你折飞机。
配送较慢，五天的时间在三线城市也算慢了，而且印刷有瑕疵（全书6处），并且封面有两处褶皱（最左端）。不过内容没的说。
放暑假的时候照着书本折纸，很不错~
This is one of two "must have" paper airplane books that are out there for serious folders.
I have collected almost every paper airplane book in or out of print that I could find in the last few years as I discovered that paperflight was a great way to combine two of my hobbies: paragliding and origami. So being the obsessive that I am for these sorts of things, I started rounding up every book on the subject and I discovered that there are really just two books that I couldn't do without: this book and LaFosse's "Planes for Brains."
Inside this book you will find all of Mr. Collins' most useful and elegant models with a few exceptions that can be found in his first book, "The Gliding Flight." The "Suzanne" model which was used to set the distance world record referenced in the title of the book is really the most elegant and impressive plane model around. It is simple enough that anyone over 6 or 7 could fold it, but it just goes and goes. Forgoing the tape and using nose or fuselage locks makes for a go-to plane in any situation. Two others not to miss in this book which were included in earlier books of his are the "Starfighter" and the "Boomerang." Both are great, especially the latter. With some practice at both folding and flying, the Boomerang is too much fun. And how Collins ever figured out how to fold this plane is a mystery as its folds are rather non-intuitive, however it is definitely worth learning.
There seems to be some dissatisfaction regarding this book in that the models are too complex. They are complex, but they are not the most complex around. They are, however, the most accomplished around. The models in the LaFosse book mentioned above are really beautiful and have their own genius to the folding (they are even more complex), but they do not perform as well as Collins' planes do. If you are looking for a rudimentary paper airplane book, I would recommend the Klutz book as it is simple, but has some useful ideas for kids to explore with.
Hope that helps.
I purchased this book for ideas for our school's Science Night, and was inspired after seeing John Collins' interview on Conan. While the folding and flying provide hours of entertainment, I was shocked by how poor the print quality is of the book. It looks like a low-resolution inkjet was used cover to cover, which makes discerning the folds difficult, and is a good strain on my eyes. I found that for the purposes of learning a few new paper plane designs, there are several decent Google Play/Apple App Store apps that provide clearer, animated folds for great flyers, as well as plenty of content online. I wish I'd previewed a hard copy of this book before purchasing.
This book has good clear instructions on how to fold some very unique paper aircraft. You can clearly see the origami art mixed into the science of these fantastic flying sculptures. The Boomerang plane is Amazing. It circles so you can catch it. Too Fun! Following the photo illustrations made folding this intricate plane relatively easy for me. I'm always frustrated with written or poorly illustrated instructions.
The story of the Guinness world record breaking plane makes this book all the more desirable. John Collins obviously knows a lot about paper airplanes to get his glider design to break a 9 year old record. The dichotomy in his and the former world record holder's design is fascinating. The record breaking event is a Great read!
I loved the book so much I bought 5 of them. One for me and four for my friends children's Birthdays.
Recently, I saw John Collins, "The Paper Airplane Guy", on the Conan O'Brien show. He was very funny and genuine. But, it was his paper airplanes that stole the show!
Making and flying the planes in this book will make you smile, laugh and feel like a kid again.
Collins has published several other books of planes and just gets better at illustrating how to fold them and explaining the nuances of making one perform. Many of the paper planes I've made over the years were dogs despite being advertised as great. This book helped me understand why. A slight miss-crease here, a bad fold there, and they usually added up to disappointment and were quickly consigned to the recycle bin. Collins discusses and illustrates how to tune your plane so it doesn't disappoint. In addition, there is a lot of easily understood information about the aerodynamics that allow these planes to fly. Who knew there is a correct and incorrect way to throw a plane? There is heavy, colorful, tear-out paper for some of the planes in the back of the book. But, I'll just continue to use regular printer paper or the card stock that fronts some magazines and advertisements. A useful, educational book.
