In an incredible video titled "Return to your paper plane," viewers are introduced to a fascinating paper airplane that boasts a unique ability: it never crashes directly to the ground when thrown carelessly. The video, which has sparked a wave of nostalgia and curiosity, features a demonstration of this remarkable paper plane in action.

One user exclaimed, "Well, I know what I'm going to be playing around with for the next half hour or so. Time to find some paper." This sentiment echoes the excitement of many who are eager to recreate their childhood memories. Another user reminisced, "I made those as a kid - only 1 out of 3 would even fly well. But when they did you could nail your brother across the room," highlighting both the joy and frustration of crafting the perfect paper airplane.

The video has also triggered memories for users who recognized the folding pattern. One comment read, "Wait, this folding pattern looks familiar. I used to know how to make a very similar plane back in elementary school. Don't know if I realized it was supposed to come back to me, and I know the pattern I was shown had some differences with what's shown here, but damn, this triggered a memory."

Experts and enthusiasts weighed in on the intricacies involved in making such a plane. "Paper is fragile and very easy to deform. You have to fold everything just right and adjust for perfect symmetry. If it's off, you don't get the flight demonstrated in the videos. This is a basic paper airplane design that was well documented back in the 1970's," one knowledgeable user shared.

The video's impact reached beyond just nostalgia, with some users humorously suggesting major aerospace companies take note. "Boeing should call him," one user quipped, while another joked, "Shopping mall foam plane sellers hate him…"

Even those who aren't familiar with the craft found the video captivating. "What show is this?" one user asked, clearly intrigued by the content. Another user humorously noted, "I can't even make my bed as neat as that," marveling at the precision required to create such a plane.

For those inspired to try their hand at making this unique paper plane, it’s essential to remember the delicate balance and symmetry required. As one user aptly put it, "Favoriting and forgetting," it's easy to get caught up in the excitement but crucial to take the time to perfect the craft.

Whether you're reliving childhood memories or discovering this for the first time, the video "Return to your paper plane" is a delightful dive into the world of paper aviation. Get ready to fold, throw, and watch in amazement as your creation returns to you, defying gravity and expectations.

My Dad taught me this one. There's another EZ one works even better. They were a hit in grade school.
