Paper Aeroplane: Thunder Bomber

This is one of the very best of paper aeroplanes, it is extremely stable in flight and glides excellently. It is fairly easy to make with no complex folds and no cutting needed.

Step 1: Step 1

Take an A4 piece of paper and find a smooth, flat surface to do your folding.

1. Crease down the vertical centre of the paper from side to side, then unfold.

2. Fold across the horizontal centre of the paper from top to bottom.

3. Now you have to fold the paper along a line from the top of the central fold to the bottom corner.

4. It should look like so.

5. Now fold from the top corners to the crease that you just made.

6 You should now end up with this.

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[rawknexstuff]

I disagree with James, I feel it was done quite well, and I'm a freshman in high school!

[jmoore33]

oh im stuck at step 3

My son LOVES this bomber plane! I also got a bit lost on the "1. Fold the top flap back and then fold down the centre line. " part, but worked backwards when I got to the end and realised I needed to do this for both sides and then carry on. This is the second time I have made it and I now remember that I mucked up in the same place :) Thanks so much for taking the time to post this, makes my life easier as my son is obsessed with paper planes at the moment!

[OrigamiAirEnforcer]

Perhaps he should take a look at some of my projects too... :)

[xxjjxx3]

Cool plane, but my plane does not have a split at the end.....

[xxjjxx3]

Actually I got it now tnx for the Instructable.

[obsessedfry]

how'd you get it? the split, that's where i'm lost hahah!

[xxjjxx3]

Well, that was a while ago, I might have to go through this again to find out.

[babbler254]

The instructions are very unclear! I'm dead at step 3!

[commentnlookr]

look it up in a paper airplane book.

[ldavis8]

its brilliant flyer

[obsessedfry]

i got a little lost on the transition from step two to step three, mostly the "fold the top flap back" part, but otherwise awesome! thanksS

[tinker234]

[sirdoken2]

[mtobin]

[midas_jack]

Excellent!
Thanks for this plane

[Aerofan]

mine just rolled and crashed 10 feet away

[Mr.Unknown]

what do u mean from here to here i dont understand how u fold it making it more clear would be nice

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

So that those two points touch.

[miggythepiggy]

i saw a video on youtube if you are having a difficult time

[PAULI18]

maybe next time use a paper that has one color on one side and another on the other.

[trebor_29]

This is an excellent plane. The instructions were a little difficult to understand, but I got there in the end, and it flies really well! Thanks a lot.

[rawknexstuff]

Exactly!

[tomsta14]

didn't understand at all

[naruto954]

help plz on step 3

[NerdBoy]

Great plane, Loosewire. Glides beautifully.

[lasersgopew]

Agreed.

I would say your mind is underdeveloped before I would blame the author.

[imcharly]

this plane is from the book ._.;, the book as more instructions so its easier to make, go to the library and look for the book

[lasersgopew]

Seriously who cares, why would we go get the book when the planes are right here, his explained all that's needed.

[richardsavage]

The instructions take a bit of lateral thinking, but the plane flies very well. Very well worth the effort.

[lasersgopew]

Indeed worth the effort, it's definatly more stable than The Harrier and with The Harrier you have to get it perfect.

 

[Instructable Maker]

You should make the instructions a bit clearer. I haven't undertood anything. Make more steps or something. It looks cool at the end though.
