im srry im confused. do they initially throw them to get the planes flying, and then they use that board to control the flow of air or something? I've recently been interested in aerospace engineering, and i plan on choosin it as my major next year.

To answer your first question, there's no need to throw the plane because the upwash of air from the board while walking forward allows you to let go of the plane without a toss. Your other question about controlling the airflow is answered in more detail below.

Were the card boards used for direction control?

Yes, you can "influence" which wing gets more updraft thus causing the aircraft to bank slightly. Because they are directionally stable they follow along in a coordinated turn quite nicely. Good question.

I worked at Boeing for 16 years and became very specialized, but it was never the same everyday. I work for a smaller airplane company now and my days are even more diverse. I'm not bored for long.
