A toy airplane with foldable wings. The wings can be folded before being launched by a launcher. When the toy airplane is launched the wind pressure maintains the wings in the folded position. When the toy airplane reaches a certain reduced speed, springs of the toy plane move the wings back into an unfolded position. Movement of wings into the unfolded position closes a switch and powers a propeller of the toy plane. The propeller can be powered by a battery within the toy plane fuselage. The combination of a motorized propeller, switch and folded wings provides a toy airplane that minimizes drag during launch and allows for extended flight after launch.

What is claimed is: 1. A toy airplane, comprising: a fuselage that contains a battery, and a motor coupled to a propeller; a wing coupled to said fuselage, said wing being moveable between a folded position and an unfolded position while in flight, said wing being in a folded position when the airplane is launched and moves to an unfolded position when a speed of the airplane reduces to a threshold level; and, a switch coupled to said motor and said wing, said switch is open and said motor is disconnected from said battery when said wing is in the folded position, and closed when said wing is in the unfolded position to electrically connect said motor to said battery and rotate said propeller while said fuselage and said wing are in flight. 2. The toy airplane of claim 1, further comprising a spring attached to said fuselage and said wing, said spring biases said wing to the unfolded position. 3. The toy airplane of claim 1, further comprising a launcher coupled said airplane. 4. The toy airplane of claim 3, wherein said launcher includes a launch spring that is coupled to a hook of said fuselage. 5. The toy airplane of claim 1, further comprising a battery charger that is coupled to said battery. 6. The toy airplane of claim 5, wherein said battery charger includes a pair of electrical contacts that mate with a pair of electrical contacts connected to said battery. 7. A toy airplane, comprising: a fuselage that contains a battery, and a motor coupled to a propeller; a wing coupled to said fuselage, said wing being moveable between a folded position and an unfolded position while in flight, said wing being in a folded position when the airplane is launched and moves to an unfolded position when a speed of the airplane reduces to a threshold level; and, switch means for connecting said motor to said battery and rotating said propeller when said wing is in the unfolded position while said fuselage and said wing are in flight and disconnecting said motor from said battery when said wing is in the folded position. 8. The toy airplane of claim 7, wherein said motor rotates said propeller when said motor is connected to said battery. 9. The toy airplane of claim 7, further comprising a spring attached to said fuselage and said wing, said spring biases said wing to the unfolded position. 10. The toy airplane of claim 7, further comprising a launcher coupled said airplane. 11. The toy airplane of claim 10, wherein said launcher includes a launch spring that is coupled to a hook of said fuselage. 12. The toy airplane of claim 7, further comprising a battery charger that is coupled to said battery. 13. The toy airplane of claim 12, wherein said battery charger includes a pair of electrical contacts that mate with a pair of electrical contacts connected to said battery. 14. A method for operating a toy airplane, comprising: moving a wing relative to a fuselage to a folded position so that a switch that can connect a motor to a battery is in an open position; launching the wing and the fuselage while the wing is in the folded position; moving the wing to an unfolded position to close the switch and connect the motor to the battery when a speed of the airplane reduces to a threshold level; and, rotating a propeller connected to the fuselage with the motor while the fuselage and the wing are in flight. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the wing and fuselage are launched with a spring loaded launcher. 16. The method of claim 14, further comprising charging a battery coupled to the propeller before the wing and fuselage is launched. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein the wing is moved to the unfolded position by a spring.
