Mine were always awesome.
I'd say a good 30 hours of my time in College was spent making paper planes.

That's the best I've ever made. It takes aaages to get right but it will fly like a beast

French airline engineers wouldn't be any good I suppose if you want it to fly more than 15metres. Best try the other links people have sent.
For something a bit different, try these as they always surprise people that they work:

The second one is great as it not only flies brilliantly, but I've won several drinks with it as no-one believes that it will fly as far as it does. BTW, Mcdonalds straws work best.

The best I ever saw was at the Potteries Stadium about 5 years ago.
They had been giving out leaflets and of course before the match everybody was converting them into paper air planes and hurling them towards the pitch.
One bloke threw his from the top of the Boothen End and it flew just short of the opposing penalty area and a massive cheer broke out.
Loved to have seen his design.

This one is the best. I've been using it for ages and it's always a winner.
