Remember the joy of tossing a hand-built paper airplane and watching it soar across the yard? For many of us, Whitewings was the name behind these magical moments. Originally introduced in 1980, Whitewings paper airplane kits enabled kids and adults to craft high-performance gliders that flew fast and far. A well built Whitewings airplane can fly for over 30 seconds and travel more than 200 feet.

These aren't just your regular, folded, origami paper airplanes! These are expertly engineered, cut-and-glue style kits where you assemble multiple pieces into an aerodynamically sound and realistic looking aircraft.

One of the coolest aspects of the Whitewings is the variety of airplane models that it offers. Each model in the kit has its own look and flying style. Some fly fast and far, others float down gently like a feather. Part of the fun is discovering how each plane flies and tuning it to perfection. Part of the fun is figuring out which one is your favorite.

Whitewings gained a reputation as the Ferraris of paper airplanes, and for good reason. Designed by an expert in aeronautical engineering, these models were perfected for stability and distance. A properly built Whitewings glider can sail gracefully through the air for an impressively long time.

Building Whitewings is a fantastic STEM activity in disguise. You learn the basics of aerodynamics (lift, drag, center of gravity, etc) all while having a blast. It's a hobby that encourages curiosity and experimentation.

Whitewings brings people together. It's interactive, it's outdoors (or indoors on a rainy day), and it's bound to create smiles. In an era of digital entertainment, here's something that gets you moving.

Please take a look at the wide variety of paper airplanes that are part of the Whitewings family.
