A Conversation for How to Make Compression Lift Paper Planes

Ah, the hours of paper aeroplane fun to be had in one of Warwick University's largest lecture halls, L3. It's at the perfect angle; surely somewhere in the design of the place the architects must have asked: "Yes, but what about paper aeroplanes?"
Anyone else know of any lecture theatres just *built* for paper planes?

L3 is good for gliders, definitely. RO.21 (in the Ramphal building) is at about the right angle, too. I've never managed to try the Butterworth Hall - it looks liek it would be good though!

Never been in the Butterworth hall, myself, but I find RO.21 to be a little too small for a good paper glider. Distance is what it's all about

In the Physics lecture theatre in Glasgow about 30 yr ago, one of our lads got one in the lecturer's jacket top pocket . Lecture took some time to restart

As another Warwick student, surely PLT (Physics Lecture Theatre) is better for paper areoplanes?

It's far too small for a decent flight...

The Westminster Theatre lecture Hall at Keele University would be perfect: not only is it large, but has an upper tier, so with the advantage of height, the plane can fly even further!
