Size of paper plays a major part in making best Paper airplane making. The rectangular paper will work in major designs. But some of the special designs and stunt planes require Square to reduce their size and weight. While making paper planes in a rectangular paper which is lesser than the A4 sheet dimension – remember that you have to proportionally reduce the design ratio accordingly. In this design of flatter you are going to learn how to make a paper airplane using a rectangular paper 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 your A4 sheet of paper over a flat surface or over a reading table
- Just look at the dotted lines in Fig.1, that is going to be your next step
Step 2:
- Bring the top right corner to the left side plane and fold it to make a triangle and then UNFOLD it
- Refer Fig.2 for doubts
Step 3:
- Now, do the same for other Top left hand end
- Bring the Top left hand end to the right side plane and fold it as shown in Fig.3
Step 4:
- Now, bring the top left hand edge to the diagonal crease you made previously
- Match it straight to the diagonal crease
- Refer Fig.4 for doubts
Step 5:
- It’s the turn for another side, Follow the same steps as per step 4 in right-hand edge
- Bring the Top right-hand edge to the diagonal crease and match it straight to the crease
- Fold both sides properly
Step 6:
- Valley fold the nose as shown in Fig.6
- Note that the nose shouldn’t cross the bottom cross joint
- Compare Fig.6 and Fig.7 for your doubts
Step 7:
- Mountain fold the plane into half to the back section and also please check the Symmetry between both half
Step 8:
- Now, its the time for making wings, Fold down the wings on both side along the dotted lines
- Make sure the Wings are bigger than the Fuselage (Holding Part)
- Compare Fig.8 and Fig.9 for your doubts
Step 9:
- Lift up the wings to look like T on both sides
Step 10:
- Yes, you’re right! You have successfully made the Flatter plane. It performs well and good
- Also, gives a smooth flight performance on Gentle launches.
- Try with dihedral wing for different flight performance
Flatter 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!
