Publisher's Synopsis
Join the Intergalactic Star Fleet! You're 'go' for liftoff! Paper airplane designer Andrew Dewar has done it again! In this new book, he presents an amazing collection of high-performance space planes for kids who are fascinated with space travel. Step-by-step instructions show you how to fold each of the sci-fi-themed planes, which are designed to fly beautifully with every launch! The book opens with a primer on the principles of flight so kids learn about the forces that enable a plane to fly and how to coax the best performance from their paper models. They'll have fun practicing with their futuristic paper spacecraft--doing loops, barrel rolls, glides and dives. The 12 planes in this book include the following easy-to-fold models: The single-winged Helix, designed to ferry crew members to safety by spiraling them down to terra firma The massive Stargo freighter, a spacious craft with great performance thanks to its forward-swept canards The asymmetrical Shard, the fastest ship in the fleet--the command flagship and pride of the Star Fleet And many more! The book comes complete with 32 tear-out perforated sheets that have printed folding lines on them for quick and foolproof folding. It also has a pull-out moonbase poster which kids can spread on the floor to park their spaceplanes and practice precision landing maneuvers.
