What makes a Paper airplane Keep going? why not a crumbled paper or a sheet of paper fly in a straight line? What makes them unique? What makes them keep going forward in a straight line and not falling or slowing down. It’s because the lift it produces is higher than gravity in paper planes for sometime from the time of launching. Kayak is a born flyer – Learn kayak from LND with the easy step by step illustrated instructions which are easy to understand and make!
Two minutes for Noodles! isn’t it? Three minutes for Paper planes! It’s that simple with liftndrift*
Supplies Required:

- Make sure you dont cross the centre line
Step 3:
- Now, bring the right and left diagonal edges to the centre crease as shown in Fig.3
Step 4:
- Fold-down the nose below along the dotted lines as the centre of the fold (Yellow dot to dot)
- Refer Fig.4 for your reference
Step 5:
- Push the Nose up with a fold of about 1cm as shown in the Fig.5
Step 6:
- Valley fold the plane into half by bringing the left end to the right end
- Match them perfectly and check for their symmetry
Step 7:
- Fold-down to make the wing as shown in Fig.7 on both sides with dotted lines as the centre
Step 8:
- Lift up the wings to make it look like a T (frontal view)
Step 9:
- Your Kayak Paper airplane is ready for the Skyride
- Shoot them with confidence and send us a video if possible to our Instagram handle @theliftndrift
Kayak 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!
