Pilots needed for frequent flying!
- newspaper
- drinking straws
- tape
- ruler
- paper clips
- tissue paper
- First, tape 10 straws together to make a triangle shaped frame.
- Then, tape some newspaper over the triangle. Make sure you tape down the edges so that they don't flap.
- Now, you're ready to fly your Delta Wing Flyer.
- (If your Delta Wing Flyer twists while it flies, add paper clips to balance its weight.)
Now try and experiment with your Delta Wing Flyer. Think of a question that you'd like answered. Like, "What happens if you use tissue paper to cover your Delta Wing Flyer instead of newspaper? Will it fly as far as the flyer covered in newspaper?" Make a prediction, test it out, and share your results.

I made my delta wing flyer out of 3 straws only and 3 pennies. Instead of papper clips. To get my delta wing to fly straight I had to toss it like a boomarang.

She glided like crazy! Great project. We modified the flyer by adding a hand grip on the bottom with masking tape, made launching very easy.
