To get a better motivation towards making a gliding paper airplane, Here comes one! Orville and Wilbur Wright made a miniature prototype of their aero plane model to test out the aircraft aerodynamics. So, From a kid to adult, there is no limitation (or) second thought to start making your first Paper Plane. Slick slider has a easy go design simple instructions, you can fold the whole plane within minutes and enjoy flying. Also, we have a easy to make paper model called Classic paper airplane. If you find time check out the same. Now, let’s dive into the process. Shall we?
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
- A kid Friendly scissor if you cannot slit the extras by hand with accuracy.
- Ruler or Flat thick object to flatten the folded edges to make a strong crease.
Step 1:
- Keep your A4 sheet vertically like a portrait rectangle over the work table or floor.
- Grab the top right sharp edge to match the left side of the paper straight.
- Please refer slick slider Fig.1 if you have any confusions.
Step 2:
- Now cut off the bottom remaining piece of the paper by scissor and if you do just by looking at my writing instructions, it may disappoint you.
- Please refer the Fig.2 for cutting.
Step 3:
- Now, by Unfolding you will get a square sheet of paper
- Fold the paper over to the other to make a centre crease and unfold
- Fold the edges A and B along the dotted lines to the centre crease without crossing the centre line
- Please refer Fig.3 and Fig.4
Step 4:
- Make a firm crease on both the sides to make sure your slick slider plane flies well without construction difficulties.
Step 5:
- Fold the nose of the airplane – from the point to point like the arrows directed as shown in the Fig.5
Paper airplane facts: “Toy paper planes became famous during the period of WWII“
Step 6:
- Again fold along the dotted lines in the arrow directions.
- Make a firm crease always.
Step 7:
- Fold the Paper airplane into half along the centre line in the direction of arrows
Step 8:
- Time for making the Wings, Fold it down where the dotted lines stay as the crease.
- Do the same for the other side with the same fold.
Step 9:
- After Step 8 lift the wings of both sides upside to make a ‘T’ Shape like shown in Fig.9
- On both ends of the planes slightly bend the tips upside to have better lift and stability.
Make More! and Fly More! with LIFTNDRIFT
Slick Slider flying technique:
- 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!
