Additional Information
Recommended for: Ages 8 and up.
Whitewings are high performance paper gliders scientifically designed to fly just like real airplanes. Made with high quality Kent Paper, each Whitewings Glider is the result of hundreds of hours of research and development. Whitewings are manufactured in two types: paper type and paper-balsa type. When properly tuned and under good conditions, Whitewings are capable of catching thermals and gaining altitudes equal to the clouds for unbelievably long flights (up to 300 yards)!

Whitewings are simply unbeatable for overall play and educational value. Assembly helps kids understand the value of creating something with their hands. Tuning by adding curvature to the wings teaches them about the science of flight. And flying...well, flying is just plain amazing. Watching a plane you made with your own hands soar high through the sky makes for an unbelievably fun and self-satisfying play experience. Also, Whitewings are an ideal tool for teaching kids about the science of flight. Explanations in science textbooks can be unclear, dull and complicated. Teaching with Whitewings can turn your science lesson into an active, hands-on, crystal clear kind of learning experience.
