Join the Intergalactic Star Fleet! You're 'go' for liftoff!

Paper airplane designer Andrew Dewar has done it again! In his new book, he presents an amazing collection of high-performance paper spaceships for kids who are fascinated by space travel. Step-by-step instructions show you how to fold each of the sci-fi-themed planes, which are designed to fly beautifully with every launch!

The book opens with a primer on the principles of flight so kids learn about the forces that enable airplanes to fly and how to coax the best performance from their paper models. They'll have fun practising with these futuristic paper spacecraft — doing loops, barrel rolls, glides and dives.

The book comes complete with 32 tear-out perforated sheets that have folding lines printed on them for quick and foolproof folding. It also has a pull-out moonbase poster which kids can spread on the floor and use to park their spaceships and practice precision landing manoeuvres.
