Paper wings event is perfect one to test your aero design skill.In this participants are going to create your own aero model by using normal sheet.
Max team size should be 3 members.
• All contests need to be held indoor without any wind.
• Paper planes must only be constructed out of one piece of paper: standard A4 format (297×210mm), not more than 100gms. The sheet must be modified by folding only! No ripping, gluing, cutting, stapling or ballasting is allowed!
• Paper planes have to be built at site with the provided official paper.
• The aircraft must be launched by one person throwing the aircraft unaided from behind a straight launch line marked on the floor. Passing over the launch line leads to an invalid attempt. Touching the launch line or any point beyond during the launch, leads to an invalid attempt. The thrower may move beyond the launch line, after the paper plane hits the ground or any object.
• Two trials per participant are allowed. Different planes can be used, the better attempt counts.
Longest Distance
• The longest distance has to be measured with a standardised tape measure or laser / video facility. Decisive for measurement are the base point on the starting line and the first point where the paper plane hits the ground or any object. Results need to be counted in m/mm or feet.
Longest Airtime
• Decisive for measurement are the moments when the paper plane leaves the hand and first time hits the ground or any object. Results are counted in tenth of seconds.
Aerobatics
• All contests need to be held indoor without any wind.
• The body of the plane needs to be out of paper but there are no restrictions with regards to paper quality, size, construction technique and support material of the used planes.
• Planes are not allowed to be remote controlled nor to use stored energy (battery, etc.)
• Ready-made planes can be brought along to the competition.
• There are no limitations with regards to the body style while throwing.
• Each participant has a time slot of 1 minute to perform in front of the jury.
The following criteria have to be judged:
• Construction (technical) of the paper plane
• Creativity (art & design)
• Flight performance
