Every child gets excited with airplanes. In fact origami paper planes are very to close to the actual airplanes in terms of aircraft science. Whereas paper plane make a huge difference in STEM Education and could be a potential opportunity for kids to evolve in aviation studies. Parents can teach their children to wave their hands in the space to feel the wind. Look how do birds fly, how clouds move, how airplane fly and all of this could be a potential opportunity to explore the aerodynamics present in aircrafts. A quick science lesson is always okay for all of us. Now, let’s get into the zone of paper airplane making with simple and easy step by step approach.
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 the A4 sheet of paper in Portrait orientation and fold them from Left to Right equally as shown in Fig.1
- 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 straight line – The height from the bottom of the straight line should match with the height of below the triangle
- Once it matches fold them.
Step 4:
- 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 5:
- Fold up the small triangle below the big triangle
- Refer fig.5 for doubts
Step 6:
- Mountain fold the Paper airplane make into half and check for their symmetry (Refer Fig.6)
Step 7:
- Fold the wings with the fuselage length of about 1 cm to hold
- Make sure you fold the wing on the other side too.
Step 8:
- Lift up the wings to make it look like ‘T’
Step 9:
- You have successfully made the Paper plane make flyer. It performs well and good!
- Also, gives a smooth flight performance on Gentle launches.
- Try with dihedral wing for different flight performance
Paper plane make 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!
