Here at Klutz, we are diehard fans of the traditional paper airplane. After all, that classic play pattern (fold, throw, repeat) has a timeless appeal that can never be equaled. Or can it?
Introducing a brilliant innovation in paper aerodynamics: the straw-launched jet. Don’t throw it – blow it! Straw Shooter Jets comes with everything anyone needs to make a fleet of puff-propelled flyers. Young aviators follow the step-by-step instructions to fold custom-designed paper patterns and attach the results to a straw fuselage. Once the jet is mounted on a special launch straw, it only takes a concentrated breath to send it soaring.
In addition to folding instructions, the book features tips about getting the best performance from the jets, including real principals of aerodynamics. There are enough papers included to make ten each of five different jet models, from the mysterious X-88 to the aptlynamed Spitfire. Cool artwork evokes flying team themes (beware the Sky Pirates!). But the fun doesn’t end when the pre-printed papers are gone.
