So I’m rereading it again because I forgot what chapter I got up to and it’s come to my attention in chapter 5 page 8 he is throwing paper planes …… there are no planes right so how does he know it’s a plane …. plot twist he is reincarnated haha no jks

My history teacher ranted this to us during the last day of school. It's time for this useless info to become useful.
So, paper airplanes were made sometime during the 1860s. They weren't called paper airplanes but Paper Darts that were modelled by a real dart (even the way you throw it is similar to how you throw darts).
My teacher said it was started by either Leonardo da Vinci (or was it Michelangelo??) or an Asian country (China or Japan). Back then, they had used parchment paper which was accessible to a lot of people. This was also used as entertainment (they must've been bored out of their freaking minds to call this "entertainment")
It was not till the late 1890 (or the early 1900s) that the term "paper darts" We're replaced with paper airplanes. To be exact, it was replaced with "paper Aeroplane" (I hope I got the spelling correct ( ;∀;). Aero is supposed to mean air or transporter...)
This model was also used as inspiration to build the first airplane sometime in the 1920s (I'm not sure of the exact year, but it was sometime in the 20th century).
Dart-like shape with wings sticking out on both sides so that it reminds balanced in air while using the wind resistance to stay afloat as it glides through the air.
It started with a prototype at first, but with the help of the wright Brothers (I hope I spelled that right) and the people after them, it soon devoted to what we know today. And thus, as the actual transporter was developed the name of the original prototype had also developed. For Aero to Airplane.
So, thus ends the short history of Paper Airplanes.
Are we getting more side stories or is that it?
Author said there will be side stories but it's next year
