How to Make an Airplane Out of Paper

Creating a paper airplane is a fun and simple craft project that can be done in just a few steps. Here's a basic guide to make a traditional paper airplane:

Supplies

Materials you'll need:

A sheet of letter-sized paper (8.5 x 11 inches).

Steps to make a basic paper airplane:

Start with a clean, flat sheet of paper.

Orient the paper so that the longer side is horizontal (landscape mode).

Fold the paper in half lengthwise. This means you should bring the left edge of the paper to meet the right edge, aligning them as precisely as possible. Then, unfold the paper.

Now, fold the paper in half widthwise. Bring the top edge of the paper down to meet the bottom edge. Crease the fold firmly and then unfold the paper again.

With the paper still in landscape orientation and the folded edge at the top, fold the top layer of the top edge down to meet the center crease you made in step 4. The top of the paper should now resemble an isosceles triangle.

Fold the top layer of the paper again, this time bringing the top edges of the triangle down to meet the bottom edge. This fold will create the wings of your paper airplane.

Flip the paper over to the other side.

Now, fold the paper along the existing center crease, so that the top edge aligns with the bottom edge. This will create the body of the airplane.

You can fold the wings down slightly to give your airplane better aerodynamics. Experiment with different angles to see how they affect the flight.

Your paper airplane is now complete and ready to fly! Hold it by the body, and give it a gentle toss forward.

Keep in mind that there are many variations of paper airplanes you can create by modifying the folding techniques or by adding additional folds. Feel free to experiment and have fun with different designs to see which one flies the best for you. Enjoy your paper airplane-making adventure!
