Update: I've recently created a website called paperairplaneshq.com where you can see video tutorials to fold all 50 paper airplanes. No need to download or install anything.

If you've ever been a kid, you know how much fun it is to make and fly paper airplanes. I know how to make two kinds of paper airplanes. It would have been fun if I knew how to make more than 2 kinds. The Greatest Paper Airplanes is a software that shows how to build 50 awesome paper airplanes. (You can find the download link at the bottom of this hub).

This software was created by KittyHawk Software. It's a relic of an era when Windows 95 was still the cutting edge operating software. I tried to install the software in my Windows XP machine and it worked perfectly fine. (I'm not sure about Vista though. It probably won't work.)

For you to better appreciate paper airplanes, The Greatest Paper Airplanes also presents you with interesting information about flying and about paper. I bet you didn't know that the Chinese built kites 3000 years ago. That's way ahead the Europeans who only learned the joys of flying kites in the 14th century. About paper, although the Egyptians made papyrus – thin sheets made from reeds – for writing, it was again, the Chinese who made paper as we know it today.


There are 10 kinds of paper airplanes that you'll learn how to make by using The Greatest Paper Airplanes
