Paper Airplane Flight

A folded paper plane glides and banks along a smooth flight path with subtle wobble over a low-poly landscape. The plane's geometry is built entirely from hand-placed triangular BufferGeometry faces to mimic real paper folds, with a lighter and darker material distinguishing the sunlit and shaded panels. Its orientation is derived each frame from the Catmull-Rom flight curve's tangent, and banking is computed from the cross product between successive tangents so the plane visibly rolls into turns like a real glider. A chase camera lerps toward a point offset behind and above the plane to keep it in frame through loops.
