Electric Paper Plane Launcher
That's different.
"Have you ever wished that
you could throw a paper aeroplane as straight or as far as someone
else? This kit includes components to make two electric plane launchers — ideal for exploring different paper plane designs. The rubber discs
spin at high speed and will launch a paper plane at up to 50Km/h (30mph). An
ideal gift for any budding aeronautical engineer interested in the
application of technology to problem solving." Each launcher requires 2AA batteries (not included). Age 8+ (most of my readers — sweet!). [via Jonathan Margolis's "technopolis" feature in the April 24, 2009 issue of The Financial Times "How To Spend It" magazine]
