Alsomitra

Glide a printed seed wing across a room

A hand glider after the seed of the Javan cucumber, the swept crescent wing that inspired early tailless aircraft. Press an M4 nut into the nose pocket for balance, then launch it gently level from a height and it glides in long, slow swings across the room.
