Bowlus flew the SP-1 in several regional glider meets in Southern California including two in Pacific Beach, San Diego, and one in Redondo Beach, California, in 1929.On October 5, 1929, Bowlus established a new U.S. soaring endurance record in SP-1 above the cliffs in Point Loma, California, near the Old Point Loma Lighthouse with a flight of 14 minutes and 10 seconds.
A simple folded paper plane Folding instructions for a traditional paper dart. A paper plane (also known as a paper airplane or paper dart in American English, or paper aeroplane in British English) is a toy aircraft, usually a glider, made out of a single folded sheet of paper or paperboard.
For example, using a lower paper density will reduce a paper walkalong glider's wing loading and thus its air speed. [6] [7] Walkalong glider designs have differing wing loadings, for example, the tumblewing type designs will have lower wing loading than traditional nose weighted paper airplane designs made from the same paper density.

A paper plane, paper aeroplane (UK), paper airplane (US), paper glider, paper dart or dart is a toy aircraft (usually a glider) made out of paper or paperboard; the practice of constructing paper planes is sometimes referred to as aerogami (Japanese: kamihikÅki), after origami, the Japanese art of paper folding.

The Kline–Fogleman airfoil or KF airfoil is a simple airfoil design with single or multiple steps along the length of the wing. It was originally devised in the 1960s for paper airplanes. In the 21st century the KF airfoil has found renewed interest among hobbyist builders of radio-controlled aircraft, due to its simplicity of construction. [1]
Flying models range from simple toy gliders made of sheets of paper, balsa, card stock or foam polystyrene to powered scale models built up from balsa, bamboo sticks, plastic, (including both molded or sheet polystyrene, and styrofoam), metal, synthetic resin, either alone or with carbon fiber or fiberglass, and skinned with either tissue paper ...

In recent years, Culver was noted by Dan Armstrong, President of Experimental Soaring Association, for his work with Jim Maupin designing gliders intended to be built by craftsmen from plans. Culver is a well-known aerodynamicist. [10] He published a 13-page paper on the design analysis for the Windrose 15-meter glider that he designed with ...
