How many different paper plane designs are there?

Lots! Watch as Dylan Parker, paper plane expert, demonstrates some of his favourites.

Notice the way the different shapes and features of the planes cause them to move through the air in different ways.

Which one do you like the most?

Why not have a go at making something similar?
