Introduction: The Flying Cone

The design is based off a NASA proven design. It is officially called a lifting body, but I prefer "The Flying Cone"

The official video:


Check out this video of its flight and how how to build it:

Not the plane flew about 14 feet and I threw it at a downward angle.
This plane might not be the fastest or furthest flying - but I guarantee it will be attention grabbing!

You will need the following:
  • Scotch Tape
  • 8.5x11 Paper
  • 3x5 Notecard

Step 1: Parts and Build


You will need the following:
  • Scotch Tape
  • 8.5x11 Paper
  • 3x5 Notecard

To build, just follow the pictures below. Tips are on each picture.

Step 2: Tossing

To toss the plane, hold it by the top fin and throw in a gentle upwards motion.

You can also gently throw it from the nose.

If the plane dives, add rear weight (balled up paper). If the plane spirals, add rear weight. If the plane loops up and down, add nose weight.

And that's it!
