| The Kline/Fogleman Airfoil |
This paper airplane is my interpertation of the Kline/Fogleman Airfoil. ?What's that?
you ask. It is an airfoil design that incorporates a "step" into the wing, that seems to
make a plane fly smoother and with less chance of stalling. It can be stepped on the
top or the bottom of the wing. My design is on the bottom, and is adjustable as well,
so you can decide how you want your paper airplane to fly.
A more complete history of the Airfoil can be found on this website, and if that is not
working, I have backed the site up here.
You can also buy a book with the complete history and many designs at Amazon and
Barnes&Noble online, I have links to the sites to the right.
.
Enough technical talk though, it's time to build great flying paper airplane!
NEW - I have just uploaded another design that has the step on TOP of the wing.

| D - Cut out Section "D" and recycle the two scraps of paper. |
| Open it back up. |
| B - Fold it in half along Line "B". |
| Flip it over. |
| A - Fold back along Line "A". |
| F - Fold top wing down along Line "F". |
| Flip it over. |
| F - Fold the top wing down along Line "F" again. |
| G - Fold up along Line "G". |
| Flip it over |

| Push the tail up in the rear. |
| Place a standard paper clip on the nose. |
| Place a piece of clear tape over the paper clip to keep it in place. |
| Finished! |
| You can adjust the chord of the airfoil. Here it is in standard form. |
| Here it is with the chord deepened. Just pull on the two tabs at the bottom and you can adjust it at will. |
