How to Make the Best Ever Easy Paper Airplane
- 6 years ago
This video tutorial will walk you through making just about the best paper airplane that can be made with aa single sheet of paper. I have seen this type of paper airplane fly across an entire gym.\r
\r
The first step is to get a single sheet of printer paper. Bigger heavier paper will work better, like A4, but to start out I would suggest a regular 8.5x11 sheet.\r
\r
Nest fold the paper in half the long way, and make a good crease down the center the paper should now be divided into two sides equally with a crease down the center.\r
\r
Next, take the top two corners and fold them to the cent, so that the corners touch about a thrid of the way down the piece of paper, and what was the top edge meets each other at the creased center that you did in the last step.\r
\r
After this, you should have a piece of paper that comes to a point on the long way, and has a good crease down the center. Next, take the point at the top, and fold it down so that the point is on the centerline, and the top edge is where the bottom of the point was (around a third of the way down the page).\r
\r
At this point you should have a rectangular piece of paper again, with a point folded into the front side. Now take the top corners again, and fold them into the center. Except this time, you fold the corners to the center about an inch to an inch and a half from the point that is folded down on the center of the paper. This means that you will have to two corners coming into the center line diagonally, with a point about an inch below where they meet. You have to leave an inch or so because you will be folding that point up over where the corners meet in the next step.\r
\r
Now, fold the point at the centerline up over the points of the two corners that you folded down in the last step. You should now be able to fold the plane in half along the centerline that you made in the first step, with the point you just folded on the outside of the plane. You are very close to finished.\r
\r
You may now see what the plane is supposed to look like. Basically the only step you have left is the wings.\r
\r
At this point you will have one side that has a short edge, and the other with a longer edge. This will be where the wings fold goes from/to. Basically, you can just fold down each side of the halves of the plane, so that a crease goes from the top of the short side, parallel with the crease at the bottom of the plane, to the long side. This will form wings on each side. These can be small or large, it doesnt matter that much, it will fly very well either way.\r
\r
Now you have a basically completed paper airplane. If you want to, you can add a paperclip to the front for weight. Also, another thing often done is to fold the front point of the plane (where it would hit the ground when you throw it forward) back and forth and then tuck it inside the plane. This can increase it aerodynamics.\r
\r
After this you will have an amazing paper airplane that flies super well!\r
