AltiFlytes are next-generation paper airplanes that fly spectacularly well, both indoors and outdoors. Developer Ed Darack created these easy-to-build aircraft kits for everyone, of all ages, including hobbyists, STEM students and educators of all grades, those interested in learning about aviation and related topics, and anyone seeking an engaging and fun set of activities. Each AltiFlyte aircraft amazes with its ability to fly long distances and seemingly defy gravity as it remains aloft, riding air currents. Every launch, whether inside an apartment in the dead of winter or atop a hillside in summer, amazes, inspires, and opens opportunities to learn.

Constructed of a special type of paperboard that optimizes flying performance and durability, AltiFlytes come as pre-cut kits, each of which requires just a few minutes of gluing for complete assembly. Detailed instructions are provided for construction, launch, storage, and display. Each set includes 20 different aircraft models for endless enjoyment and boundless opportunities to learn more about aviation and beyond. Couple AltiFlytes with their free companion educational resource, AltiSTEM, for an incredible and engaging series of experiences to learn about aviation, science, technology, and beyond.
