Dollar Bill Jet Fighter

Basically one of the coolest things you can make with a dollar.

Step 1 Water Bomb Base

The goal here is to make a water bomb base on one end of the bill. To do that:
-fold the bill in half hotdog style, then unfold (picture 1)
-fold the right top corner over to the edge of the bill, then unfold(picture 2)
-fold the left top corner over to the edge of the bill (picture 3)
-start to fold the open edge of the triangle back over itself (pictures 4 and 5)
-flatten and bring the other flap over (pictures 6 and 7)
-fold the flap back over so that each side has one flap (pictures 8 and 9)

can you use a five dollar bill

[marccase]

I would imagine you could.

it does not fly @ all, waste of $ ... but it does look good

[WrshpMzshn]

Very clear instructions and pictures! Thank you.

Make one out of a fake billion dollar bill, and you'll be fairly accurate! Awesome instructable :)

but will it blend?

Does it fly? i have been told that 20s are more aerodynamic :P

[sherrycayheyhey]

I don't know about the affects on flight but I do know that the higher denominations are picked up much more quickly after crashing into the ground :)

[ilpug]

I was more or less quoting a street musician i saw a few days ago. people kept throwing ones at him, but they just flopped around and fell as you would expect. He kept saying that 20's are more aerodynamic.

very nice plane.

[sherrycayheyhey]

haha! I always do prefer a sense of humor in a person asking for money over one that looks depressed.

[ilpug]

yeah, it greatly increases the amount of money they make, too.

I have a picture that friend took of a guy in San Francisco who has a sign that says "My wife was kidnapped, and I need 97 cents to complete the ransom money"

I have also seen hobos with signs that say "bet you can't hit me with a quarter"

[unominame]

WOW. This is very nice! You must have lots of time to play around with money. because your other dollar bill Ibles' are also Awesome. 5*

Looks just like the F14's, or F18's. I like this!
