Huh, that's actually a good one.

DaVinci wrote about making paper aircraft. I don't know if the general public did it though.

Paper didn't exist as a cheap commodity. It was a luxury item that rich people and scholars used, not something anyone would own and casually waste.

Without the theoretical knowledge and without widespread availability, paper planes probably weren't manufactured before the 20th century.

>Did people make paper airplanes before the invention of manned flight 100 years ago?
The concept of gliders was pretty well known long before the first manned flights senpai
also kites are similar to gliders and have been around for a very long time, so if they had the paper available, why not?
