On a lighter note, but still on topic; maybe.
Many year ago at a Club Med they had a contest. It consisted of folding a sheet of paper in to a glider. The contestants then launched their gliders from a second floor walkway. The person who produced the glider that had the longest flight-time won. The prize was probable a free drink at the bar.
I had been at the bar long before the great fly-off, 'cause when my turn came I just held out the unfolded sheet and let it go. It's hang-time was 2-1/2 times that of any other 'glider'.
When I went to claim the well deserved prize, they refused to give it to me. Is this an example of politics overriding aerodynamics?
