Update: I've recently created a website called paperairplaneshq.com where you can see video tutorials to fold all 50 paper airplanes. No need to download or install anything.

If you've ever been a kid, you know how much fun it is to make and fly paper airplanes. I know how to make two kinds of paper airplanes. It would have been fun if I knew how to make more than 2 kinds. The Greatest Paper Airplanes is a software that shows how to build 50 awesome paper airplanes. (You can find the download link at the bottom of this hub).

This software was created by KittyHawk Software. It's a relic of an era when Windows 95 was still the cutting edge operating software. I tried to install the software in my Windows XP machine and it worked perfectly fine. (I'm not sure about Vista though. It probably won't work.)

For you to better appreciate paper airplanes, The Greatest Paper Airplanes also presents you with interesting information about flying and about paper. I bet you didn't know that the Chinese built kites 3000 years ago. That's way ahead the Europeans who only learned the joys of flying kites in the 14th century. About paper, although the Egyptians made papyrus – thin sheets made from reeds – for writing, it was again, the Chinese who made paper as we know it today.


There are 10 kinds of paper airplanes that you'll learn how to make by using The Greatest Paper Airplanes

Variations on the schoolyard specials that are fun to fold and fun to fly. These crafts are what the kid in you wants.
Floaters and long distance specialists, these gliders are best in large indoor space or a park on a calm sunny day.
Military aircraft with A-1 style. These airplanes will spark your imagination as you create dog fights and bomb runs.
Beautiful sleek lines and the mach speed look mark these craft as very impressive examples of the art of paper planes.
Exotic, experimental, with an outerspace look these craft will push the limits of paper planes far beyond the ordinary.
Wide wingspans with small bodies give these flying wing aircraft great lift for a long, straight, stable flight path.
Triangular wings with various special control surfaces give these delta wing craft and unusual look and flying style.
Forward swept winglets give these craft an extra measure of agility for acrobatic high-speed flights.
Modeled after high-performance military aircraft, these planes the feel of real jet fighters in combat fligth manuevers.
Somewhat radical and exotic in design, these new and experimental craft will test your skills as folder and test pilot.
