What sets birds unique from other living beings on this planet, The flight! whereas there are cases that insects and even snakes, animals fly. There is no possibility of matching the speed of a bird to be honest. Like birds take flight, airplanes, and aircrafts are one of them who produces flight. Paper planes are living example for cheap cost aircraft. Here we are gonna make a paper airplane called colonizer. It is easy to make, fun to play with also it rolls in the air. Learn to make colonizer paper plane designs!
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
- A kid Friendly scissor if you cannot slit the extras by hand with accuracy.
- Ruler or Flat thick object to flatten the folded edges to make a strong crease.
How to Make a Square Paper?
Keep your A4 sheet vertically like a portrait rectangle over the work table or floor. Grab the top right sharp edge to match the left side of the paper straight. Now cut off the bottom remaining piece of the paper by scissor Refer the picture below for your doubts.
Step 1:
- Before starting the step in Fig.1 start off with Keep the square paper diagonally and fold the paper right to left, then top to bottom to make a proper crease
- UNFOLD the paper
- Bring the top corner edge to the center point, do the same with bottom corner edge
- Refer Fig.1
Step 2:
- Fold the two folded edges to their opposite edges
- Refer Fig.2
Step 3:
- You will be seeing this as a result
- Turn over the paper to the other side
Step 4:
- Bring the top and bottom folded corners to the centre horizontal crease and FOLD
- Refer colonizer Fig.4
Paper plane facts: “Maximum performance of Paper planes are always at Dry weather conditions“
Step 5:
- Mountain fold the plane to the backside properly and check for the symmetry
Step 6:
- Now its the time for making the wing, fold down the wing with an approximate fuselage length (1.5 – 2cm)
- Turn over the paper plane
Step 7:
- Do the same wing making here too and check for the symmetry
Front view and Final fold:
Step 8:
- Lift both sides of colonizer equally upwards and make sure it is dihedral in shape.

Colonizer flying technique:
- Keep your left foot slightly forward hold your plane in the thicker part of the fuselage right behind and launch it in 30 – 40 degrees angle, Give it a quick toss. 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!
