Here at Liftndrift, we are trying to help people learn paper airplanes and their science in an effective and easiest way. Because we believe aviation is for everyone and everyone deserves to fly. Let’s make our paper airplane with step by step illustrated instructions from LND! Good Luck!

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.

• UNFOLD them once done.

Step 2:

• Now bring the Top Left-hand edge and Top Right-hand edge to the center crease
• Make sure you don’t cross the center line

Step 3:

• Bring the Nose down to the bottom of the paper and align it with the centre line and fold them (Yellow dot to dot)

Step 4:

• Push the Nose up to the full triangle and align with the center line as shown in the Fig.4

• All set! Find a Good spot for your plane to fly – When you know how to make a paper airplane that flies far. Consider to go for a open ground, or school auditorium, its all a possibility.
• Get Set GO!

• 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!
