Miss Flyer the best use of a misprint! It can turn an ordenairy paper into an extra ordaniary paper plane with only one swipe! 😮
Entirely made from one single sheet of lasercutted plywood.
KRO-NCRV, Klaas vindt uit (Dutch TV) seemed to like it, so they wanted to show it to everyone 😃

Changelog:
- Version 1: Genesis
- Version 2: Changed gap from 5mm to 3mm, changed distance between step 1 and 2 from 120 mm to 140 mm
- Version 3: Zohar & me made the second version but this raised some issues. changed gap back to 5mm again cause the paper kept ripping. changed the cutouts to 4.95mm so it's more of a friction fit.
Future development:
- Write building Instructions
- Better performance
- Engraving
- No need for glue
- More paper plane designs
- Have a paper plane war at the office!
It's Open Source, go ahead build it!
