Welcome to AIRmadillos!
While armadillos are common in much of the southern portions
of the United States and Mexico, a special breed of this mysterious
mammal has colonized the remote Big Bend country of west Texas.
This species, known as the AIRmadillo, has taken to flying paper
airplanes in its chosen habitats. Today, you can play the role
of the rarely seen AIRmadillo by using your math skills and quick
reflexes to help him or her fly airplanes as far possible.
Launch paper airplanes and watch them rocket through the sky
by choosing the optimum arm release angle. Be careful though,
wind speed, direction, airplane type, setting and arm power also
play major factors in determining the distance your airplane
will fly. You control it all. You get one practice throw and
three "official" throws. If your three official throws total
a distance of 50 meters or more, you can print out a special
certificate. Have fun! This game was created exclusively for
