The study that teaches the forces acting and affecting a moving object through any fluid (Air, Water, gas) is called as Aerodynamics. The same force and principles work right from Kites, Parachutes, Gliders, Paper Airplanes, and our Real Airplanes. Frontier aka. Front load is one of the amazing Paper airplane from LND that has a decent aerodynamic design.
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 on a flat surface or over a reading table
- Valley Fold about 2 cm from the top as shown in Fig.1
Step 2:
- Fold the paper into half from left to right, make a crease in the center and UNFOLD after that
Step 3:
- Fold down the top right corner and top left corner to the center crease you made in the previous step
- Refer to Fig.3 for your doubts, also not that you should be crossing the center line
Step 4:
- Rotate the paper plane like this
- Now, fold it into half – by bringing the lower side to the top
- Refer Fig.4
Step 5:
- Now, make the wings by folding them about 2 cm from the bottom on both sides of the plane
Step 6:
- Bring the wings up like ‘T’ as shown in Fig.6
- On both edges of the frontier, wings fold upwards as the dotted lines guide you to make Winglets for this Paper plane
Step 7:
- All set! Find a Good spot for your frontier to fly – Consider Open ground, or a school auditorium its all a possibility
- Get Set GO!
Make more! Fly more! with LND
Frontier flying technique:
- Hold the Plane behind the center of the plane’s gravity center.
- Keep your left foot slightly forward and launch it at a 30 – 40 degrees angle, throwing 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!
