| Subjective analysis:
This plane performs much like the slant-nosed glider, except that it flies slightly faster. Leading edge extensions are the short, highly-swept sections of wing root that join it to the fuselage near the nose of the plane. On jets like the F18, they produce vortices over the main wing at high angles of attack that keep it from stalling under high lift. The Reynold's numbers on our paper model are probably much too low for that type of airflow phenomena, but it flies pretty well nonetheless.
