FLY FOLD

Earlier in my School days, My Uncle made a Paper Airplane that was pointy and sharp that traveled almost 5-7 meters. I asked him how did that happen? Later, I realized that Aircraft like Paper plane, Jets, and Aeroplanes needs to have geometrical perfection and Aerodynamics! How I am going to teach you that using this Paper plane? Nah! I am not going to, you are going to learn by yourself. By making more fly fold like planes! Always you can Check-in at Liftndrift for easy paper airplane instructions. Okay! Enough talking, Let’s make this 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:

  • Keep your Paper in Portrait mode over your work table or Flat surface
  • Fold it right to left evenly to make the center crease line and unfold
  • Now, Fold the top left-hand corner across to the right-hand edge end and match it fold it properly

Step 2:

  • Now, as shown in the Fig.2 fold the Point A to the left side edge along the dotted centre line
  • Make a proper crease

Step 3:

  • Fold the point A down to match the centre line. For simple understanding, the dot to dot fold and make a firm crease

Step 4:

Step 9:

  • You made fly fold possible! Yes you did!
  • Now, its time for fun! Go to the ground and do some Flying magic!

Fly fold flying 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!
