How Do You Make Different Paper Airplanes?
If you want to take to the air, you can do it with nothing more than a sheet of paper. By making paper airplanes, you can reach for the sky—and experiment with different designs that will test your aeronautical skills. Below are instructions for making four different paper-airplane designs and something that you wouldn’t think could fly, but it does. Hold the paper so the long edge is parallel to the edge of the table. Take the bottom edge and fold it upward so it meets the top edge (“hot-dog style”). Crease the paper, then open it up again. Take the lower left hand corner and bring it up to the center crease; fold it again, so you have a triangle. Repeat with the upper left hand corner. Refold the plane at the center line. You’ll now have a shape with the longest edge along the bottom, one slanted edge, one vertical edge, and a remaining loose edge at the top. Take hold of the slanted edge about halfway along its length and grasp the short, vertical edge at a point across from your
