First of all you will need to understand there is a big difference between folding a piece of paper a few times to make a plane, and making the effort to create a craft that flies to the heavens.
The folds need to be both precise and sharp without causing damage to the rest of the paper. Be aware that if there is any kink in a fold, the plane is not going to fly straight or far.

| How to make a paper airplane fly far |
If you are determined to create a paper plane that flies higher and further than that of your friends, it can be useful to make pencil lines on the paper prior to folding. It is surprising the difference having geometrically precise folds can make on the plane's aerodynamics.It can take a few attempts to create a successful paper airplane.
Though you can get various paper plane blueprints from craft books and websites, you may find it more fun if you simply experiment with your own concepts. A few extra folds and cuts can allow you to put together an amazing paper airplane. Besides, paper is an easily available and cheap commodity, experimenting will not cost you a fortune.
Apart from choosing the right type of design, why not also experiment with different paper colors. The color will not impact on performance, but it can make your plane stand out from the crowd.
Learning how to make paper airplanes is a great activity, and one that can help to strengthen a bond between a parent and a child.
The 7 Key Features to Folding and Flying the Perfect Paper Airplane
- What type of paper is the best to use? Any 8 1/2 x 11 inch white sheet of paper can be used. A thicker paper, such as, photo printer paper provides for better creasing and alignment.
- How do I make my paper airplane perform loops and curls? For most planes, fold the tips of the wings up slightly. Do not bend too much or your plane climb slowly and then will come to a quick crash.
- What happens if my paper airplane flys to the left or the right? Make sure the center body of the plane is straight and aligned.
- Why does my paper airplane crash so quickly? Much of the time your paper airplance was not folded tightly causing too much drag on the unaligned body. Make sure to make tight folds, which create a streamline flying machine!
- How can I get my paper airplane to fly higher? A trick is to throw the plane in the direction of the wind blowing towards you.
- How can I get my paper airplane to perform dives? To make your paper airplane dive, go quickly down towards the ground then pull up before crashing, hold your plane as high above your head as you can or throw off of a high area. Make sure you fold the tips of the wings up, then point the nose DOWN towards the ground and drop the plane - don't give a thrust.
- How can I make my paper airplane perform a backwards dive? To make your plane fly down then loop upside down and backwards, hold your plane as high above your head as you can or throw off of a high area. Make sure you fold the tips of the wings up, then point the nose UP towards the sky and drop the plane - don't give a thrust.
What do you think of when you hear the word paper-airplanes? Maybe you have far better memories of paper airplanes than I do as when I was a child my planes never really turned out as I had planned. However, in this day and age it seems that making planes out of paper is no longer just for children, in fact, many adults have turned this age old tradition in to a beautiful art form and have made planes that take a lot of time and work.
You can easily follow all of the basic airplanes that are made out of paper and once you have all of those mastered you can move on to the more complex planes, the planes that take more time. Once you move on to the more complex planes though you can start to create your own unique styles.
Making paper airplanes is really simple and fun to do and it is no longer just for children so have fun and be creative and you will have your own unique paper airplanes in no time at all.
