Does the shape of the wings on a paper airplane change how far it flies?
Absolutely. Wing design not only changes the ability of a paper airplane to glide and maintain lift but also how it flies, whether it is best thrown with force or delicately for maximum glide effect. Some wings also, especially if modified with crimps or wing-end struts and the like, cause the plane to do rolls and loops and will shorten it’s ability to fly far and instead invest its force in vertical climbs.
