#2It has been a while that I try to find the design for this type of paper plane [1] that glides so smoothly and allows you to guide it.
I am not even sure how to search for it, even with this database in hands

#3Very cool. I always upvote anything about paper airplanes, ha ha.
Many, many hours of my youth were spent making paper airplanes and flying them. I also enjoyed modifying designs with my own embellishments to see if my changes were improvements or no.
Perhaps after catching "The Birdmen" (1971) on TV I became obsessed with building catapult-like paper airplane launchers using thread, paper clips and weights to drag the airplanes along the length of the kitchen table and send them sailing off the end.
I think part of this was due to a lack of toys to entertain myself with (my sister and I, growing up with a single mother who worked as a secretary — she stole office products so that I was kept in letter-size paper, pencils, pens). Perhaps too there were a lot of those months spent indoors in the either too-cold or too-hot/humid Midwest.

Filter by "Time Aloft" [1]. I did and don't see the specific plane in the YT video (they certainly don't have every airplane in their database).
Search for Walkalong Glider [2] to find what you want.

#9I had a book around the turn of the century with paper airplane folding instructions. Lazily, I stuck to the simple ones and my favourite was called "Phoenix". Could not find it on this page but searching for the book I found a video where the author demonstrates: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2V55rc58cDg

Honestly it looks like it is flying solely on the thermals from his breath.
Still pretty cool though :-)
