Came here to say exactly that. I can see why this guy must be an awesome teacher. His curiosity and enthusiasm is very infectious and genuine, and he explains things in a fun and down to earth way.
Unfortunately our system has increasingly been failing these gems of teachers making them harder and harder to be found in schools and colleges these days :(
FR, i was like "okay but WTF AM I DOING" and then he went "i know that doesnt make sense" and resays what he meant and that healed my soul bc istg teachers never stop to validate what they did no matter how many times you remember it and dont know what it means lmaoo
This is by far the best how to make a paper airplane video, the result was much higher than my expectations. Very nicely illustrated instructions. Thank you for the video!
I used to make these a little differently. I used just regular 8-1/2"x11" copier paper. I never really experimented with other weights. I would make the first fold deeper, then two more progressively shallower folds so that the result was a tiered effect. I didn't use the rear fold. They flew quite well, with around 60 feet of distance in a good flight. One other note that John didn't mention: The way that he tucked one end into the other is good if you are throwing right handed. If you throw left handed, you should tuck it in the opposite direction. If you tuck it in the wrong way, the seam will create more drag and slow the spinning more quickly. That will result in shorter flights.
Could you go into more detail when you state you fold the paper to more times making a tier effect? Did you put the two fold over each other or were they next to each other? Like a 1 2 type of thing? Thank you! This comment was very helpful
I used to make these all the time as a kid. Called it the glider. I tried to make them with my kids recently and couldn't remember. Thanks for the help!
I tried it and it works pretty well. The trick is to just make it spin with your fingers so that it can create a vacuum inside it so that air gushes in to propel it forwards.
Don't forget to reverse the direction of the insert, inserting the right end into the opened left side flap, if you throw with your left hand. Otherwise the open end will trap air as it spins, slowing the rotation.
At time stamp 6:37, I would insert a rolling pin into the plane and roll it back and forth on a flat surface to take out the irregularities in the folds.
Very fun since you need to train your way of throwing with this one, but once you got it, you can throw it very far with pretty good accuracy too. Plus, once it hits the wall, you don't need to worry the front of the plane get busted since it's just a tube.
Extraordinary! I have made a lot of paper planes over the last three score of years for my sons and grandkids. I have made some odd looking oblique ones but never one like this. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving so I can show the little ones. Thanks so much for this, now I have to go practice! I wish good health, happiness and all the best to you and yours!
The correct way is to use a Fortran computer punch-card , this was a very popular pastime during boring lectures at university in the late '70-early '80s
When I was a kid, wham-o made a version of this plane and called it the Turbo Tube. It was one of my favorite toys. I lost it in the ivy. That was about 50 years ago, but I think I know where it is - if I just look a bit longer. Cheers.
I love paper airplanes now, and now I'm gonna binge watch everything this guy ever made, and then go tell someone who doesn't care how awesome paper planes are, and bore them to death until I realize that paper airplanes are as cool as they've always been, and me finding that out just now is simply sad.
the way i typically make these is that i do 2-3 of the "ugly" folds which locks the front super strong. i also go all out and do a full half fold on the back so that it tucks underneath the front

Expected more clip when that thing flies..
There is in the other video with him

@@WIRED That link leads to this same exact video.
Checkmate
@@theinfamous_dnoob9149 lol
7:51 your welcome .
Thank you
Thanks 😂😂
Ty
Thank you. I feel like that clip should have been the first thing they showed.
I found you!
I love this dude. Reminds me of all my favorite teachers. Enthusiastic about what he does and enjoys teaching the craft
Even the way he teaches us how to throw a football! Absolute king 👑

WIRED: Lol, imagine still doing normal paper airplanes in 2024.
There you go 69 likes.😂😂
almost 420
My son and I did a science fair project about 15 20 years ago, This was it. Which kind of paper plane flies furthest? The tube did!
I didnt realise it was paper plane and just thught it was interedting anyway
Here u go, 666 likes
This guy is someone who’s passionate about physics. It’s admirable

Woah that’s crazy how well it flies like that
ah yes you i see everywhere
PLEASE dont finger me :((

7:51 is what you’re looking for
I tried it and it works pretty well. The trick is to just make it spin with your fingers so that it can create a vacuum inside it so that air gushes in to propel it forwards.
Is it just me or is it satisfying watching him fouls.
This guy would make a super cool dad! His kids are lucky!
you’re the dad i wish i had
Thats sad bro...
Cool bro
This guy is a good teacher.
Don't forget to reverse the direction of the insert, inserting the right end into the opened left side flap, if you throw with your left hand. Otherwise the open end will trap air as it spins, slowing the rotation.
His child-like enthusiasm is just awesome! Right what I needed today! 😄
hes like a supervillan but you unlocked him as a playable character
I thought he's going to show how to roll a joint.
tahnk you uncle.
This was made 3 years ago and I only find it now?
I had a plastic toy in the 90s that was this exact flying tube and it worked great!
There used to be a commercial version made of aluminum called the "Toobee." There are old commercials here on TH-cam.
Sharpen a crease much better with a ruler over the crease makes razor sharp edges ‘ artist tip
Its 1:00Am, bored as heck, saw this video, “f it, imma make that”
Felt like Walter white taught me to make a plane
The tube while in the spinning in the air fits with the interstellar soundtrack “No Time For Caution”
He is so fun and passionate about folding airplanes. I love this guy :)
The TH-cam algorithm has brought gifts this evening!
This is amazing, my favourite part was just listening to this guy, what a nice guy
Much more success throwing this underhand
As he was making the tube paper aeroplane, I was thinking that if this is possible as a real aeroplane that humans can ride.
Thank you so much for teaching me i am really excited to share this to the rest of the world!!!!
Here at 1k when this has millions remember me
I spent 8 minutes waiting to see that thing fly for 2 seconds. Okay I didn't actually wait, I scrolled
i tried so much and the results were great
This airplane works magic
he's the bob ross of paper airplanes
At time stamp 6:37, I would insert a rolling pin into the plane and roll it back and forth on a flat surface to take out the irregularities in the folds.
I'm supposed to be doing homework and studying for my science test, but this is much better.
I saw Nigahiga's paper airplane trickshot video and saw the tube and I did a whole lot of research and found how to make it and then he uploaded this
Same, I have been searching for years.
Very fun since you need to train your way of throwing with this one, but once you got it, you can throw it very far with pretty good accuracy too. Plus, once it hits the wall, you don't need to worry the front of the plane get busted since it's just a tube.
"Watch John go in-depth". I did. For more than eight minutes. And I SAW it fly for less than six seconds. wow.
Lol this guy is lecturing my class of flying physics right now
If I had known about this design when I was still in school I would have even more fun with my friends AND no eyes would be hurt.
Extraordinary! I have made a lot of paper planes over the last three score of years for my sons and grandkids. I have made some odd looking oblique ones but never one like this.

Had a boring Friday morning and filled it with tossing this aroundb
Oh man
This tube is really going nice and far
i kept thinking that this man was the best teacher ever.. if he had a student, his student would had the best learning experience
Wow I thought it’s gonna be a bad paper airplane but when I test it ITS AMAZING 100 PERCENT RECOMENDED IT WORKS SO GOOD trust me bruh
Me: okay I get it you're mad but what are you going to do??
My psychopathic Friend: 5:05
The correct way is to use a Fortran computer punch-card , this was a very popular pastime during boring lectures at university in the late '70-early '80s
Thank you grandpa ❤
Everyone else: *trying to make complicated looking airplanes that still fly*
This guy: 0:10
Ngl this is the best paper plane I've ever made
I find the underhand throw to be easier and more effective
Bob Ross of folding papers
This Heisenberg guy is pretty cool
WHAT IS THIS SORECERYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good vid i loved it
Thank you for giving me an additional tool with which to annoy my wife.
This guy is a legend.
Since how long has this been around? I'm seeing this for the first time in 60 years!
Best folding I've seen
Great Big Story made videos with this guy
So cool, I saw a video of one on tiktok and tried your instructions, it really works and flies quite far indoors.
thanks JOHN COLLINS I DONT KNOW HOW TO THANK U
AND THX WIRED
Spoilers: you only get to see half a clip of some other dude throwing it.
To see more of this plane flying, check this out: th-cam.com/video/faR8b9DTZ1A/w-d-xo.html
And now we wait for Tom Stanton or Peter Stripol to make a model airplane out of it
I love this video, John was super charismatic! I just wished the technicalities of the motion was illustrated or explained in more detail
Worked WONDERS❤❤🎉 great video!
When I was a kid, wham-o made a version of this plane and called it the Turbo Tube. It was one of my favorite toys. I lost it in the ivy. That was about 50 years ago, but I think I know where it is - if I just look a bit longer. Cheers.
ok cheers
Fast and entertaining for kids. Nice.
Absolutely enjoyed making this and sharing it with the family!
People who use the darn stapler💀💀💀
I love his energy and enthusiasm.
I love paper airplanes now, and now I'm gonna binge watch everything this guy ever made, and then go tell someone who doesn't care how awesome paper planes are, and bore them to death until I realize that paper airplanes are as cool as they've always been, and me finding that out just now is simply sad.
So I've been unknowingly basically making this plane for years just that ive always used this to store my weed
I was so badly waiting for those last 4 seconds
the way i typically make these is that i do 2-3 of the "ugly" folds which locks the front super strong. i also go all out and do a full half fold on the back so that it tucks underneath the front
I'm not mad, but what was just recommended to me?
I am mad.
It's Walter White in a wig
An airplane
My cat loves this! Thanks :)
My mom: that wont fly
Me: TUBE ZOOM
That's so cool, wonder whether it can be applied in bigger scale.
maybe if it spins fast enough
Ah yes, the TUBE-747 my plane of choice
How funny, I’ve watched other videos that show how to build this, but the other videos do it in half the time.
Instructions unclear, got abducted by aliens.
how to throw in style
Ah yes, lets make an 8 minute video about a paper airplane and show literally 7 seconds of it flying. Great video Wired keep it up. 👍👍👍
Well it's about how to make it dude lol this is not a motorized airplane I won't fly for. 18 hours
this video is the best one that i have seen
Me : Made the plane after spending 10 mins
Me after making the plane : Unable to throw and very sad
He's back omg omg! 👋👋👋😃
i cant i give up
I’ve found out that you put tape on the seams of the “tube” it flys better
Finaly i found a use for my bill's !!!!
YEAH SCIENCE!!! now make a video on how to cook blue meth
So this is what happened to Walter White in the alternate timeline where he didn't get into cooking meth.
Wouldn't the paper travel further (and more precisely directed) if rolled into a ball?
No
If only I had known this in the 7th grade when we had a paper airplane contest!
John and I actually got into a call, about 3 years ago
