How to Make a Boomerang Paper Plane

Paper airplanes have become a staple of just about every kid's childhood. Folding paper airplanes is usually a fairly simple task and only requires a single sheet of paper. However, there are other types of paper airplane designs that exist, which take a little bit more skill to make. One design is known as the boomerang style of paper airplane. A boomerang paper airplane is designed to fly away from the person who launches it and return to them - just like a boomerang.
