Shaun plays in the school football team and has previously built model cars with engines.

Here are their paper plane top tips.

Designing a good plane

• Make it as aerodynamic as possible.
• Make a point at the tip of the nose so it slices through the air.
• Try to add some weight to the nose.

• Throw the plane at a 45 degree angle for maximum height and distance
• Throw it slowly but firmly
• Don't just pile the pressure on, take your time if the plane is any good it will glide.
