Cool-looking paper airplane

 Before we get started I just wanted to warn you that this is the kind of paper airplane that looks pretty cool but doesn't fly very well.

 I was sort of reluctant to make this Instructable as I have never told anyone how to make this or let anyone see me make it. If you unfold it, it is impossible to tell, also. It just looks like a bunch of folds radiating from a center point.

 I came up with this design. A few people have told me that I didn't make it up but I swear this is entirely my original work. Please don't try to tell me that it isn't.

 Anyhoo, to make this you will need one (1) sheet of 8 1/2" by 11" paper.

Step 1First

First
 First, hold it in portrait. take one of the upper corners and fold it down diagonally to meet the other side at a 90° angle. Do the same with the other corner. NOTE: if you folded the first one right, the corner should meet up with the crease line from the other corner.
 Flip the paper over and fold the top part down. The fold line should meet the point where the two other folds intersect.

i figured how to make this plane fly alot better then it already does
first you need to fold the front in so it has e square nose then fold the tips of the front wings down so it stands up and then fold the tips of the back wings up so it has fins o each wing

not too much or the flane will be too short and will not fly well
