balsa glider
Throwable wooden plane
A balsa glider is a small model airplane made from balsa wood, a lightweight material that allows the craft to stay aloft when thrown by hand.
These simple toys and hobby projects range from cheap ready-made kits to elaborate hand-carved designs: We spent the afternoon launching balsa gliders in the park.
