Star Fleet Paper Airplanes For Kids

Join the Intergalactic Star Fleet! You're 'go' for liftoff! Paper airplane designer Andrew Dewar has done it again! In this new book, he presents an amazing collection of high-performance space planes for kids who are fascinated with space travel. Step-by-step instructions show you how to fold each of the sci-fi-themed planes, which are designed to fly beautifully with every launch! The book opens with a primer on the principles of flight so kids learn about the forces that enable a plane to fly and how to coax the best performance from their paper models. They'll have fun practicing with their futuristic paper spacecraft--doing loops, barrel rolls, glides and dives. The 12 planes in this book include the following easy-to-fold models: The single-winged Helix, designed to ferry crew members to safety by spiraling them down to terra firma The massive Stargo freighter, a spacious craft with great performance thanks to its forward-swept canards The asymmetrical Shard, the fastest ship in the fleet--the command flagship and pride of the Star Fleet And many more! The book comes complete with 32 tear-out perforated sheets that have printed folding lines on them for quick and foolproof folding. It also has a pull-out moonbase poster which kids can spread on the floor to park their spaceplanes and practice precision landing maneuvers.
