Introduction: Paper Fighter (yes It Flies)

Make a lifelike and realistic fighter plane that actually flies!
Impress your friends, your dog/cat and yourself
need: 2 A4papers, 15 mins and some SKILLZ only

You will need:

2 A4 papers
Stapler, ruler, pencil
Above average skills at paper planes
5 minutes upward

Tips

Fold precisely, even half a millimeter makes a dfference
All folds symetrical except for the nose fold over
Use crisp paper without punched holes etc..


Step 1: Fuselage

See pictures
note. easy steps are skipped (quite obvious)

Step 2: Wings and Body

see pictures

note. 95% of this plane can be folded by aligning to previous folds somehow

Step 3: Assembly

put both together!

Step 4: TOSS IT!

Hold as shown in picture, Index at the end, thumb and 4th at each side, toss forward!

Tips

Rubberband launch is preferred

USE 2 rubber bands in series and pull back gently, sudden acceleration will kill the plane and it will fall like a dead bird

Using low gsm paper for the wings and high gsm paper for the body gives Exellent results
Aim 5 to 40 degrees to horizon

Inspiration from countless hours of boring school lessons, can fly and glide somewhat for above 20 metres (what do ya expect) if done correctly

Video is an attempt to fly it, will post more video if i can get better video

Step 5: Video

video proof of hand launchability, although not as awesoms as rubber bands.
