Best Paper Airplanes .com is a free site that illustrates how to make unique folded Paper Planes that you'll find nowhere else - because these ten paper airpcraft models are original, copyrighted designs. Some are easy to bulid, some are flying origami as well as paperairplanes, but all are fun to fold and fly.

Airplanes are adapted to specialized uses. Today there are land planes (aircraft that take off from and land on the ground), seaplanes (aircraft that take off from and land on water), amphibians (aircraft that can operate on both land and sea), and airplanes that can leave the ground using the jet thrust of their engines or rotors (rotating wings) and then switch to wing-borne flight.

Commercial Airplanes -- Commercial airplanes are minimally affected by the Y2K problem. Following an extensive survey of thousands of airborne systems, only three were found to be date sensitive. None of them compromised the safety of flight or operation. Information identifying software or hardware changes and instructions on how to make the changes were sent to airlines.

Airlines purchase airplanes to fly specific routes in response to traffic demand. Route characteristics vary by region. Airlines need large numbers of single-aisle airplanes to fly the many domestic short-haul routes within North America and Europe.

When engineers are designing an airplane, they often build one or two full-size airplanes of the design to see if it flies the way it should. Because the engineers are still experimenting with the design, these types of airplanes are sometimes called experimental concept airplanes or prototypes. A specially trained and very experienced pilot flies these airplanes, and then reports to the engineers. The research pilot can tell them what he or she thought were the good and bad features of the airplanes and what needs to be improved. Many times, experimental concept airplanes are quite unique-looking because they are trying out a strange, new concept or technological advance. Most experimental planes, like the X-36 and X-29 pictured here have names starting with "X" as in eXperimental.
