Can one fly in a paper plane?

Sure. If it’s structurally sound and engineered well enough.

Maybe glide, but I’m not sure one can fly. The paper would have to be as sturdy as a hang glider sail so it doesn’t rip and would need harder material to support it and the person would have to be light as a child. I don’t think it would be possible but I suppose if they maybe used carbon paper. It’s suppose to be stronger than regular paper and still be flexible but I’m not sure how strong it is compared to a gliders sail.

A fly definitely could.

@RedDeerGuy1 Why don’t you get back to us on that one after you try it!!! HaHaHaHaHa

Even if it was possible, it would be too inefficient and a waste of precious paper.

Of course. The Spruce Goose was one example of proving one can fly even in a plane made of wood.

You can fly a life-sized plane put not high up. It would take a lot of paper and you can’t go far but it would be cool.

Not on a rainy day.

The paper plane wouldn’t have to be big if you were small enough. I would recommend taking a small paper parachute with you for safety reasons.

People have flown in airplanes with graphite fiber composite structure and plastic skin. If you swapped in paper for plastic, you could definitely fly. Swapping in paper for graphite composite would not be advised due to the greatly reduced strength.

@Forever_Free The Spruce Goose was not the only plane to be built of wood. So was the RAF’s Mosquito bomber of WWII.

Not just a rainy day @Inspired_2write. Don’t fly one on a snowy, windy, or fogy day.
