Gotta crumple it as tightly as possible. A loose paper ball isn’t gonna go anywhere but a tight one will go far. It’s all about maximizing cross sectional density!
A good plane required mathematical precision, not fanciness. In theory they take about a minute to make. The son did not make a mathematically precise plane.

I would have a hard time tossing a crumpled paper ball further than a good paper airplane would go.

I won’t my paper airplane competition several times in grade school. I was a G. It went way farther than a tightly balled up piece of paper.
I think the subtext is that the son spent 10 minutes making a piece of crap.
I think, a slingshot would toss further, also that was what I expected to happen
Yeah, this guy hasn’t seen many paper airplanes apparently

And sadly it’s still the conventional football players that get the trophies.

That’s what I was thinking. The most basic paper airplane, the kind that looks like a fighter jet, will cover a football stadium if thrown right.
