Jeremy’s Toy Sketch: Paper Air Plane Launcher

Paper Air Plane Launcher:

The Paper Air Plane Launcher uses two small rotating tires to launch any paper airplane that is fed into it.  It is similar to the football launchers used by professional teams.

The Paper Air Plane Launcher uses frictional principals to propel the airplane out.  the Static coefficient of friction allows the airplane to stick to the wheels and travel out of the end at the same speed that the outer edge of the wheels are turning.

Children will play with this toy by making any design of paper air plane that they want and feeding it into the device.  The device will launch each plane at the exact same speed and trajectory so it will be easy for the children to compare what is the best paper air plane design.

This is not safe for children under 4 and anyone using it should wear eye protection due to flying projectiles.  The launcher will mount to tables in order to be more structurally sound.
