Finding:
What I found out is that the paper with paper clips flies down faster than the paper without. I also found out the the paper with the folds at the end glided.
Conclusion:
In conclusion planes with more weight in one place will land in that same place and with shape on the end like folded upwards helps the planes glide and have a smooth landing.
