The farthest flight by a paper aircraft is 69.14 meters (226 feet 10 inches), achieved by Joe Ayoob and aircraft designer John M. Collins (both USA), at McClellan Air Force Base, in North Highlands, California, USA on 26 February 2012.Feb 26, 2012

Changing Mass
In the same way a rock that is thrown pushes its way through the air as compared to a cotton ball, a paper airplane with more mass flies faster and farther than a paper plane with less mass, up to a point. If the mass is too great, the wings can’t hold the plane in the air.

Gravity helps create lift for paper airplanes. … Lift is the force that pushes an aircraft into the air. When paper airplanes are thrown up, gravity pulls them down. This movement causes a difference of air pressure on the airplane wings, which then causes lift.
One of the keys to reducing drag on the paper plane is to have thin wings. This has to do with a paper plane’s Reynolds Number, which indicates the significance of the viscosity of the fluid (air) on flight.

Among the most sensational is that the size of the flock has a significant impact on how fast the birds can fly. The larger the flock, the higher the speed. … The result is clear: bigger flocks travel faster, no matter what species they belong to.
Each wing was tested 20 times. It was concluded that Airfoil Three generated the most lift, with an average 72 grams of lift. Airfoil One generated the second most lift with an average of 35 grams.
According to Newton, gravity is the pulling – or in fact the attracting – force of any heavenly body towards any object to its center. But, to the contrary, Einstein once said that the four dimensions of space and time push the object downwards.

Ways to reduce it include using the handlebar drops or aerobars. Getting down low into a crouched position with elbows in reduces drag because there is a more streamlined shape and there is less frontal area.
