What word(s) would you use to describe throwing something, specifically during the action of throwing a paper airplane?

The one word I was able to come up with was "flick", but I'm looking for other synonyms.

Thanks!

throw is the verb used in the rules for the Longest paper aircraft flight in the Guinness Book of World Records.

You must throw your aircraft from a stationary position on a flat surface at the same level or below that which the aircraft lands on.

throw and launch are both used in the Red Bull Paper Wings International Qualiflyer Rules

  • The aircraft must be launched by one person throwing the aircraft unaided from a reasonably static position. The participant needs to have both feet firm on the ground during the attempt.
  • A run-up or fast walk as part of the launch is not permitted, nor the use of ramps or like devices.
