One of the finest paper airplanes is the origami design of Prof. James M. Sakoda of Brown University "winner of the origami award in the First Inernational Paper Airplane Contest" in 1967 and published in "The Great International Paper Airplane Book" (Jerry Mander, George Dippel, Howard Gossage)

Yes, that is perhaps my favorite. It always reminded me of the Orion space clipper in the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey".

Did a fascination with paper airplanes inspire Glider, or was it just a happy coincidence?

Oh, definitely related. My single mom was a "secretary" and occasionally brought home typing paper for me to amuse myself with. I drew a lot of pictures, made a lot of paper airplanes. :-)
