Paper airplanes are easies craft to make and toss into the air and not only they learn origami also it adds to learning basics of aerodynamics of flying paper airplane. There are cheapest options for making paper airplane and aircrafts. Balsa wood gliders, cardboard gliders, Styrofoam gliders are some of the cheapest way to learn aircraft motion. Efficient yet amazing way to launch a paper plane is to launch them from high altitudes like mountains and they travel aloft to a long distance. When wright brothers made their first successful flight they made sure in their knowledge of paper aircraft building all were perfect. On the same lines we at least give our maximum to make our paper airplane design firm, symmetrical and well folded. So, let’s fold n fly our hot flying paper airplane using simple and easy paper airplane tutorial from LND
Two minutes for Noodles! isn’t it? Three minutes for Paper planes! It’s that simple with liftndrift*
Supplies Required:
- A4 Sheet of Paper or a Foolscap Paper with 70-90 GSM
- Ruler or Flat thick object to flatten the folded edges to make a strong crease.
Step 1:
- Keep the A4 sheet of paper in Portrait orientation and fold them from Left to Right equally as shown in Fig.1
- UNFOLD them once done.
Step 2:
- Now bring the Top Left-hand edge and Top Right-hand edge to the centre crease
- Make sure you don’t cross the centre line
Step 3:
- Valley fold the Top-Left, Top-Right diagonal edges to the centre crease as shown in Fig.3
- Once done UNFOLD them
Step 4:
- Turn over the Plane to the other side.
Step 5:
- Fold the nose down of about 50% of the triangle as shown in Fig.5 (Dot to dot)
Step 6:
- Mountain fold into half to make the flying paper airplane inside as shown in Fig.6 and check for their symmetry
Step 7:
- Fold-down diagonal section to make wings of about 1cm from the bottom line
- Do the same on both sides (Compare Fig.7 and Fig.8
Step 9:
- Your Hot flying paper airplane is ready for Flight!
- Take it to the Runway peacefully and Let it explore your house’s terrace!
Flying paper airplane tossing technique:
- Hold the Plane behind the centre of the plane’s gravity centre
- Keep your left foot slightly forward and launch it in 30 – 40 degrees angle, throw it steadily with a medium force. If it fails, tweak the tail wing slightly up and try again.
- Try different angles and forces now! Wow, That’s how one learns properly with more trying and flying. Kudos!
