Childhood taught us many things, isn’t it? Like Riding a bicycle, Making a treehouse, Playing sport with your beloved father, and for sure one of them could be how to make a paper airplane. Flying dreams starts from there! Every big achievement on this planet today were once started from scratch. Here, we are exploring the tutorial for rocker paper airplane which has a narrow wing and can outdo your regular paper crafts. Come on! let’s scratch our head to make this wonderful plane!
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:
- The first step is keeping your paper in horizontal — orientation over the table
- Valley fold it.
Step 2:
- Valley fold the sections as shown in the Fig.2
- But don’t cross the centre crease!
Step 3:
- Now, rotate your paper to the backside
- Make two valley folds like it is shown in the picture
Step 4:
- Now valley fold the top circled sharp edge section in Fig.4 to the bottom circle as like the arrows direct you to
Step 5:
- Now, you will get two thin ears like extras on both sides of top section
- Fold and hide them inside, I know it is confusing that’s why we have a Fig.5 for you, my friend!
- Now what you made should look like Fig.6, I believe you!
Step 6:
- Now you should fold the tiny right side wing to the centre line as like shown in Fig.6
Paper Airplane facts: “In 1783 France, hot air balloons were made to carry humans as passengers were constructed out of Paper lined cloths“
Step 7:
- This step is the real head-scratching one, take your mom or dad’s help if you can’t able to continue
- Fold the top side’s rounded edge and insert it into the other side’s socket
- It is possible only by closing the model, Just fold the plane to the centre line and try insert it into the other side
Step 8:
- Valley fold both the sides to make the wings
- Refer the line and assume the same distance for folding
Step 9:
- Now, you’re officially promoted for making winglet on your rocker paper plane
- Fold both sides, just as shown in Fig.9 (the winglets were never bigger than the wings they are smaller sections of a paper plane
- If you have made it bigger than wings*, we should try to avoid this kind of mistakes when we try for the next time
Step 10:
- Make your rocker planes orientation right, Check the folds are crisp like Fig.10
Step 11:
- Passengers the flight is ready for take-off!
- Now, it’s time to find a better open place for flying.
- Congrats! You’ve done it!
- Don’t experiment this on your kitchen, we are not responsible for the consequences! Haha!

Rocker flying technique:
- 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!
