You could also look at other positions too. Why not measure how far the planes travelled using non standard units of measure. On the internet, you will find lots of different ways to make paper aeroplanes, why not attempt some others and see which plane travels the furthest. ### Paper Aeroplanes Paper Aeroplanes Instructions 91 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/files/documents/pupils/paper-aeroplane.pdf) ![Tor View School](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/logo/TV_SVT_Logo_website_Footer_Logos.png) **Tor View School** Clod Lane Haslingden Lancashire BB4 6LR Tel: 01706 214640 ### Useful Links - [Educational Excellence](https://torview.org/educational-excellence/welcome) - [The Sea View Trust](http://theseaviewtrust.co.uk/welcome) - [Valley College](https://www.valleycollege.co.uk/) - [Embrace TSH](https://embracetsh.co.uk/) **The Sea View Trust (Reg in England and Wales)** Trust Central Team The Sea View Trust Ewood Campus, Clod Lane Rossendale, BB4 6LR © Copyright 2020–2026 Tor View School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://torview.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
