Question: I know that the real planes fly because of their curved wings. However, paper airplanes don't have such curved wings. How can it fly? Where does the lifting force come from?

Answer: Well, speaking as someone who sprained his back lifting shuttle documentation -- everybody knows an airplane flies when the weight of its documentation equals or exceeds the weight of the airplane.

Therefore a paper airplane flies because it's self-documenting.
