One of my biggest claims to fame has always been that I stumbled on a paper airplane design that works extremely well, but was super easy to make. I have bragged abou it for years, i would amaze the kids in my grade. I've actually been thinking lately I should try to publicize it.

I saw this link, and scrolled down. What fools. These inferior planes have nothing on my design.

Turns out I'm looking at the very last design on the page and I'll be damned, there it is.

It's called "the raven" apparently, though I always thought it looked more like a shark. If you pull the mouth out a little and put eyes on it, it's great, and it flies very far.

In a way, I feel a bit glad and vindicated my secrets are already out there... and also, it's a pretty obvious design.

What a trip.

Wow I remember this design, I had a paper airplane book as a kid and remember this one was a reliable go to.

I also remember that design. It was the last one on a paper airplane book I had and it was classified as the fastest one too
