How to Make the Kingfisher Paper Airplane

The Kingfisher is a glider paper airplane with a medium speed and range.


TAA USAF Designation: A7-1

Required:
1 Piece of 8.5 by 11 inch Paper
Tape
Optional:
Pencil

Begin by folding your paper in half along its width. Then fold it along its center.

Fold one corner to the center and repeat. Then open.

Pull the nose to the rear of the aircraft.

Pull the outer parts of the paper into the center. Then clean the fold along the wing's span. Repeat on the other side.

Pull the isosceles triangle up along the center line over the front of the aircraft. Then fold in half.

Fold the wing along the top of the security fold. Repeat on the other side. Now open. 

Tape the Kingfisher together in the cited places. At this point you can also take a pencil to the large wings and fuselage. Decorations and roundels can make your Kingfisher look like the flier of the next century.

Your Kingfisher is now ready to takeoff and fly high. Enjoy!
