About: I am someone who mass produces paper airplanes and am always developing new designs. I post regular updates on Twitter. Follow me there to keep up with the latest developments!

Fast, long range and simple, the Titan is a highly capable dart paper airplane sure to impress all who see it. The Titan is optimized for easy construction and only requires one piece of paper and tape to construct--no measurements!

Background:

In late 2018, I decided to design a new dart paper airplane with relatively high wing loading to supplant aging types like the Ultraceptorand Vulture and complement the larger Vulcanseries aircraft.

At the same time, I ran across the Phantom V by Origamics (now Project Paper). Although it was promising in its original form, I decided to heavily modify the Phantom V with strengthened wings and an adjusted angle of incidence with winglets to allow the aircraft to sit level when on the ground. The resultant aircraft, the XF504-1, was a decent performer but rather complex to construct. Before the XF504-1 could finish flight testing and face potential publication, my attention was drawn to other projects and so the XF504-1 was shelved until February 2019.

In Feburary 2019, the prototype that would become the Titan was first developed. As with the StratoEagle and Vulcan before it, the Titan's design had been based on a much simpler aircraft--in the case of the Titan, it's basis was the Aerohawk. The Aerohawk's design lent itself well to the desire for simplicity; the position of most of its weight was far forward and low, which made the design stable. The Titan's shape reflected the successful Vulcan series but it was made in such a way as to eliminate the need for measurements, easing construction complexity.

When the Titan was tested, it proved more capable and less complex than the XF504-1; thus, the Titan was selected and greenlit for publication.
