When you throw a paper airplane on Earth the wings create a lift that pulls it up, but gravity pulls it down; this mix makes it glide forward and down. In microgravity, the wings still create lift, but with nothing to pull the nose down, the lift force causes the plane to turn. If there were enough room, the airplane would fly in loops until it ran out of speed and drifted.
