Since 5th grade, I've searched across the internet for the best paper airplane. I've found stunt planes, glider planes, sleek arrow-like planes, boomerang planes, and more. I've come to the conclusion that there is no "best" paper airplane, and that all types have their own different cool aspects. However, I do have a favorite. It is a modified, simpler version of a plane called the Stealth Dart, which was made by John Collins. This plane is easy to make and can glide straight for several meters.
