- app4soft 6y agoJFTR, Here is Origami Editor 3D[0] — open-source virtual paper folding application, which I used to recreate some of those paper airplanes.

- JKCalhoun 6y agoI remember that from the classic "Great International Paper Airplane Book". Seems it is on them cover even: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0671211293?tag=duckduckgo-osx-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/0671211293?tag=duckduckgo-osx-20&l...

A seemingly related book is on archive.org, the helicopter appears to be on page 38: https://archive.org/details/The_Great_International_Paper_Airplane_Construction_Kit/page/n37/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/The_Great_International_Paper_Ai...
