How to make a airplane with paper step by step - anyone can learn how to make a paper airplane by following the step by step directions below. Any type of paper can be used. People are intrigued when they learn there is a name for each paper airplane. In fact, if you follow the directions below the paper airplanes will actually fly! You will have a ton of fun creating The Floating Dart, The Flying Falcon and The Rocking Gym Bird.
First, you will learn step by step how to create The Floating Dart. To begin you will need 1 piece of 8 ½ inch by 11 inch paper. Please measure the paper with a ruler. Remember accuracy is the key. Next, you will fold the paper in half...longways. Now, lay the paper flat again and fold the corners please do this to the center crease. After that is completed you will once again fold the paper to the center crease. Now, fold the paper in half. I want you to fold the top of the paper down on the outside to the center. Fantastic you made the 1st wing! Stop...and repeat the above steps again. After you have the 1st wing finished repeat the above steps but this time on the other side.Congratulations,you have made The Floating Dart.

The second paper airplane you will be learning how to create is The Flying Falcon. To begin you will need 1 piece of 8 ½ Inch by 11 Inch paper. Now you can fold the paper in half... Widthwise. Next, you will lay the paper flat again and fold the corners to the center crease. Your next step is to fold the top of the paper down to where the inside corners meet at the center crease. If you are not satisfied, repeat the above steps. Next, fold the paper in half but this time you will fold it Lengthwise. Finally, it is time to fold the paper to create wings on both sides. Congratulations, you have created The Flying Falcon.
The third paper airplane you will learn how to create step by step is The Rocking Gym Bird. To begin please use a ruler to measure 1 piece of 8 ½ Inch by 11 inch paper. Now, lay out a sheet of 8 ½ inch by 11 inch paper. Please do the same thing to the top corner. Now, fold the paper in half so the plain sides are out. If you are not successful the first time don't be discouraged. Stop go back and repeat the steps. Don't worry, your paper airplane will turn out perfectly. Next, lay the paper down with the point to the left and fold the wings on both sides. If this is not up to your expectations stop and repeat the previous steps. If you are satisfied and you are ready to continue fold a small wing on each side of the wing. If you are confused re-read the last step and repeat it until you are satisfied. Finally, you will fold the center fin into the body of the plane accordion style. Excellent you have just completed The Rocking Gym Bird.
Please Please do not get frustrated and quit if the paper airplane is not perfect the 1st time. If you have any difficulty just repeat the step by step instructions for whatever paper airplane you are creating. Understand each time you create a paper airplane you will improve. For example the person who can make the most Floating Darts, Rocking Gym Birds or Flying Falcon paper in 4 minutes wins a prize Or out of the Floating Dart., Rocking Gym Bird & Flying Falcon what one stays in the air the longest. Did you know that business man and woman, teenager, and young children all love making paper airplanes? Just remember to be creative and have FUN!
Paper airplanes have been around forever it seems. If you ask anyone - any age and either gender - most will agree that they have made and flown a paper airplane at some point in their lives.
Memories of constructing paper airplanes out of white notebook paper... the ones that flew daringly from the back of the classroom to the teacher's desk... right before the teacher grabbed it and crumpled it loudly and single-handedly...
That same paper airplane - the detention-getter - was probably a type of "glider".
Gliders are best flown in non-windy conditions. That's why the indoor classroom was the perfect venue.
The beauty of the traditional glider is that it is very forgiving and easy to assemble. If you make a mistake, you can simply adjust your folds to make your plane glide more gracefully or farther.
5 EASY STEPS TO MAKING A TRADITIONAL GLIDER:
1. Fold a 8"x11" sheet of paper in half long-ways, or along the 11" side. Open and you have created 2 halves.
2. Position paper with 8" edges on top and bottom; your crease should be running vertically. Fold the top right corner point to meet the crease. Repeat on left side. Keep these folds closed.
3. To give strength and weight to that pointy end, you will fold the right side again, focusing on creating a very sharp point. Repeat on left side.
4. Rotate paper to Side B, or backside. Fold paper in half along the center-line. Look at your glider now. You now should have a point (or the nose - the part you aim to throw), 2 wings, and the body (or fuselage - the part you hold onto before your release the glider in the air).
5. The last step requires you to fold each wing downward, lining the top edge of the wing as closely to the edge of the fuselage while maintaining a tight, clean crease.
Congratulations! You have just made a traditional glider!
