What is the goal? Longest flight time? Longest distance covered?
This is the best one I've ever built:
Doesn't need throwing hard at all, but goes for miles.

Longest distance...I'll give it a crack in a bit with the link someone provided and let you know if i won or not
I have a childhood paper plane competition that's haunted me for 18 years
We had one at school once
A big event
I was quietly confident
Prizes and everything
My best friend, football captain, was panicking as he couldn't make one
As all good friends do, i made him one
On the day, he threw his further than me.
I was second
He got the glory

Got stuck at 17-18

Aye, threw that out of a window at college once. Flew off into the great blueyonder (it wasn't on fire for a change either).
heh had an indoor comp when i was a shcool.
everyones was rather average, except my personal design that ive only seen me make. It was awesome.
Had to fly it indoors, and it went ALL the way across sports hall and hit the wall the other side (wich was something like 5 badminton courts wide)
Some other kid made the skinny missile type thing, and just lobbed it as had as he could, he hit the wall too after sliding halfway along the damn floor.
Dumbass science teacher goes, ok lets take this outside, it was drizzling + windy
i was right ****** off.

Make a dart shape they easily fly the furthest, keep folding the wings untill it's really thin then just chuck it as hard as you can. It'll go for miles.
Came in to this thread to post this myself. Standard dart with a notch cut in to it. I've found this to be the best design after wasting tens of hours of free time an unimake one you can shoot from an elastic band
cant remember how to make them but it involves a pretty standard paper plane then cutting a slit in it for the band to go in.
not sure if thats allowed though

Quoted for truth. Best paper plane design ever.
Alternativly crumple a piece of A4 into a tight ball and throw it as hard as you can.
See below for building details:

I like it, do you have a step by step guide, looks pretty complicated.
is this a poem?
