Carmel D. Morris
The Best Advanced Paper Aircraft Book 3: High Performance Paper Airplane Models plus a Hangar for Your Aircraft
Paperback
(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Oct. 3, 2011)
Back by popular demand is Book 3 in the series, for serious paper aircraft engineers. Carmel demonstrated these high-performance models on US, UK and Australian television and has inspired many engineers and paper aircraft enthusiasts to create their own models and write their own books. No models are cut, other than a wing section on the 'Windcheater' and 'Distance Achiever' and all are made from single sheets of paper; even the glider on the front cover of this book is made from only one piece of paper, no cuts. Models from this book have extensively been used in colleges and universities for experimentation into flight physics and folding techniques.
