My friend once told me you are as light than air, But is it possible for some object to stay light and also achieve more acceleration. For an object to move against air or to produce forward momentum it needs to have some weight (Mass). I can hear someone saying, “Really? Is this a physics class?” I can understand your patience with me. So, as I said Paper planes designs also need to have some rules followed to fly properly. The frontal portion of the plane needs to have higher weight (mass) as compared to the back portion. The warmer aka. warm storm is one of its kind, Let’s jump in… I’ll teach you how to make it…
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.
How to Make a Square Paper?
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. Now cut off the bottom remaining piece of the paper by scissor Refer the picture below for your doubts.
Step 1:
- Before starting the step in Fig.1 start off with Keep the square paper diagonally and fold the paper right to left, then top to bottom to make a proper crease
- UNFOLD the paper
- Bring the top corner edge to the center point (Yellow to Yellow dot). Refer Fig.1
Step 2:
- Now, bring the bottom corner edge to the top folded head (Yellow to Yellow dot – Remember) in the direction of the arrow
Step 3:
- Remember the centre crease we made first? Yes, the Horizontal proper line in Fig.3
- Bring the top folded section to the center crease
Step 4:
- Fold the right and left pointed edges diagonally in 45° below
- If you are confused, Ofcourse you are – Check the Fig.4
Step 5:
- Now, Fold the right and left edges, along the dotted lines as the centre.
- Refer Fig.5 my friend
Paper Airplane facts: “For becoming a better paper airplane pilot one must know the basics of flight science“
Step 6:
- Bring the Right-hand corner to meet the inside corner of the other side (Yellow to Yellow dot) and UNFOLD
- Do the same with the Left-hand corner to meet the other side (Red to Red dot) and UNFOLD
Step 7:
- Unfold the Corners to look like the Fig.5
Step 8:
- Fold the top edge to the centre horizontal crease (Yellow to Yellow dot) of your warmer
Step 9:
- Now, You have to Fold this plane, just like the “Final Fold and Frontal View” showing below
Final Fold and Front View:
Step 10:
- Now it’s all good to fly your warmer… What are you waiting for? Conquer the sky!
Warmer flying technique:
- Keep your left foot slightly forward hold your plane in the thicker part of the fuselage right behind and launch it in 30 – 40 degrees angle, Give it a quick toss. 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!
