40 Designs of paper airplanes with folding instructions. Each one has a difficulty rank and indications for specific use, such as distance or aerobatics.

I had no idea there were so many designs. Of course, my last attempt was in about 3rd grade and was the basic dart style. Origami masters are also getting into the design business.

Eponysterical?

These are great! I remember looking for something exactly like this (with downloadable pdfs) years ago, and coming up short.

The designs need to be sortable by paper size for letter, A4, square etc.

My favorite design isn't on listed, but it flies surprisingly well.

i make a similar one pwnguin, but its not as fancy. Just a cylindrical tube that you launch by making a 'C' with you fingers to grip the outsides. Give it some spin and it flys well! Lots of fun!
