How To Make The Skywarrior Paper Airplane

 by OrigamiAirEnforcer
The Skywarrior is a fast, long range and overall very large paper airplane that uses the airframes of two simple airplanes together. I consider this airplane as the paper equivalent of the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress.

TAA USAF Designation: A68-1

Cool plane! Very substantial, and flies pretty straight and true...it rises a little for me, but I may not have made the wings precisely parallel. Can't wait to teach my kids!

Excellent to hear--this airplane has been quite impressive for me too. With as much wing area as this aircraft has, it will probably climb after launch. I hope you and your family enjoy this and thanks for subscribing!

Right now I am unable to make motion videos, sorry. However, I can still help if given a few bits of info on your situation. Is it this specific step what you need help with? Or are several steps confusing you in making the Skywarrior?

this is great for two reasons: 1 if uthrow it reely smooth it will literally float along and 2 if you launch this mofo as hard as possible it climbs insane aha ;)

Thanks, the Skywarrior is a plane I am quite pleased with. Even with nearly 50 planes having followed it, its still the biggest, and among the best planes I've ever designed.

Try making some weapons for it (firecrackers in stiff tubes)

Systems similar to the ones you describe have been developed and deployed. However, at this time I have no intentions of making them public, due to safety concerns.

The tip of the nose is pulled straight back two inches. Once this is finished, you fold the airplane in half and the mark 1 inch above this fold at the rear. Then you fold the wings down, aligning them with the mark and the trailing edge of the fuselage.
