Malaysia Boleh?

Paper Airplane are as much a science as it is an art.

A good aerodynamic design will stay in the air longer, and glide further than a poor aerodynamic design.

The paper airplane constructed will be evaluated on its ability stay aloft a long time 

(time of flight).

 

In a nutshell 

It is to promote, test and instill knowledge of Creative Innovation,Engineering, Aerodynamics and Origami. 

The judging is based on the longest duration, 

Targeted nationwide:

Schools, Colleges, Enthusiasts,

Special Interest Groups & Public to build and fly.

It sounds very simple but there is an art in folding the paper so that it will stay in the air.

It is also a science and it is reported that flying a paper airplane for 20 seconds in the air is considered exceptional, 25 seconds is "world-class". 30 seconds?

One can only dream about doing it.
