Instructions to Build a Paper Plane

Photo of the paper plane
  • Fold a piece of paper in half lengthways.
  • Open it back out again. The crease makes a centre line to work with.
  • Fold the top corners diagonally down and to the middle of the page.
  • The folded sections are triangle shaped and make a point at the middle.
  • Fold the pointed triangular part down over its bottom edge.
  • The flaps must be on the inside.
  • Take the top right hand corner and fold it down to the middle of the page at a point 15 mm above the point of the triagular part.
  • Do the same for the top left hand corner.
  • Take the tip of the triangular part that pokes out from under the flaps from the last step.
  • Fold the tip up and over the flaps so that are held down.
  • Fold the page in half lengthwise.
  • The tip that you folded in the last step must be on the outside.
  • Fold down the wings.
  • Make the fold at an angle to the bottom of the fuselage so that the wings rise up at the rear of the plane (as viewed from the side).
  • Open the wings out and push them up so that they tilt up (as viewed from the nose).

The plane is complete- now go outside and fly it and Enjoy
