We used run on those streets crazily, when we hear that noise up above the sky. We could see those white contrails once after a turbojet planes goes as fast as they can. I loved making paper airplanes, in fact I was attracted to everything that flies. But whatever I made had a lot of problems like stalling, nose-diving sometimes they flew well and smooth. I thought it was all because of luck, later I came to know it was purely science and how you handle the paper airplane folding. Also, you can check out our new free boomerang airplane tutorial. Let’s make our paper aircraft to begin the journey of flying!
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:
- The first step is keeping your paper in horizontal — orientation over a table or over a flat surface
- Fold it from left to right and UNFOLD
Step 2:
- Bring the Top Right-hand edge and Top Left-hand edge to the center crease and fold them
Step 3:
- Bring the Nose down to the bottom of the paper and align it with the center line and fold them (Yellow dot to dot)
Step 4:
- Now you should fold your left half section of nose triangle to the center (diagonal section to the center crease – yellow line to yellow line as per the arrows shows).
- You can compare and see fig.4 and fig.5
Step 5:
- Repeat the same step for right side as well
- The final picture after the fold could be like fig.6
Step 6:
- Now pull up the left alone nose from the bottom of front section as shown in the fig.6
- Also don’t pull up too much. It should end like fig.7
Step 7:
- Mountain fold the paper into half as shown and check for its symmetry.
Step 8:
- This portion of paper airplane folding should be exact like the fig.8
- The wings are diagonally folded – with the reference to the fuselage.
- Fold the plane wings on both sides
Step 9:
- All set! Find a Good spot for your plane to fly – Consider Open ground, or school auditorium to fly it peacefully.
- Get Set go my buddy!
Paper airplane folding flying technique:
- Hold the Plane behind the center of the plane’s gravity center
- 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!
