How to Make the Airplane
Making a paper airplane is a great way to spend an afternoon with your kids. It’s also a great way to teach them about aerodynamics and flight. If you’re new to paper airplanes, or want to make a better one, read on for some tips.
How to Make a Paper Airplane
Making a paper airplane is a fun way to spend a summer afternoon. All you need is some paper, a pencil, and an airplane template. Here’s how to make one:
1. Draw a basic airplane outline on your paper using a pencil. Don’t get too detailed – just give the plane some basic shapes.
2. Cut out the airplane shapes using scissors. Be sure to cut along the outlines you drew earlier.
3. Glue the airplane pieces together using a glue stick or a damp paper towel. Make sure that the edges of the pieces are glued well so that they don’t flutter in the wind!
4. Hang your finished paper airplane in an open area where it will be able to fly freely.
How to Fly the Airplane
To make a paper airplane, follow these simple steps:
1) Fold a piece of paper in half along the crease.
2) Make a small fold in one corner of the folded paper.
3) Hold the folded paper with one hand and use the other hand to make an “X” with the finger tips across the middle of the folded paper. This will create a ‘corner’ crease.
4) Open up the fold in the corner and place the bottom of your nose down on top of it. Now carefully unfold the paper, so that your plane is now in two parts with your nose on top. The corners should still be folded up.
5) Place one wingtip on top of one corner and press down gently. Repeat this process with the other wingtip, placing it so that they form an upside-down ‘V’. Do not over-stretch or tear your plane!
6) Now fold up each wingtip so that they are flush with the body of your plane. Use a pen or pencil to draw a line down the center of each wingtip (this will help you position them correctly when you’re finished).
7) Next, use a straight edge
