Synopsis
"Readers...will definitely want to see this book. Besides providing patterns for 16 gliders...Schmidt supplies a history of soaring flight and glider development, instructs readers in the basic principles of aerodynamics, and describes how to test and launch the paper gliders. Pattern pieces...and the detailed step-by-step instructions leave little room for error."-- "Booklist. "Serious paper airplane crafters will welcome the...gliders diagrammed here. However, the book is at least as valuable for its detailed account of the history of motorless planes from the early 19th-century experiments of Sir George Cayley to the new, high-tech PW-5 Smyk that will be used when soaring becomes an Olympic sport in 2000. In specific but nonmathematical terms, Schmidt explains Bernoulli's principle and other aerodynamic effects, then describes the use of gliders in wartime, the development of gliding as a competitive sport, and the continuing refinements in design and materials....Schmidt makes the construction as easy as possible with plenty of tips about safety and technique."-- "SLJ . 96 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 10.
