foam plane

Lightweight flying toy

A foam plane is a lightweight model aircraft made from expanded polystyrene or similar foam materials.

These range from simple hand-thrown gliders sold as toys to sophisticated radio-controlled aircraft used by hobbyists.

The foam construction makes them durable, inexpensive, and forgiving of crashes: My kid's foam plane survived hitting the garage roof.
