Ask Slashdot: The Very Best Paper Airplane?

Posted by Soulskill on from the important-life-skills dept.

An anonymous reader writes "'The Harrier' (or 'Eastern star,' as it is also called), is very well known, and is considered to be one of the best paper airplane designs. After much searching and trying, I have not found a better plane. So, I am asking Slashdot: is there anything that beats 'The Harrier' in a competition (indoors or outdoors)? This would be a really nice geek skill!"

    due to its erratic flight, it let you use the full gymnasium, much more exciting than anything that flew in a straight line....

    had, at least at the time, the "best performing" for time aloft, distance, etc. The designs were very solid.
