Toss It!: The Flatplane

This is my favorite paper plane design of all time. It is a completley flat glider that can soar and loop. enjoy!

Step 1 The Base

This is the first folds of the plane. It begins taking shape in a sort of triangle.

1. Fold the top corner so that it touches the other side and forms a right triangle, then unfold.

2. Fold the other top corner like in step 1 and unfold. This should form an 'x'.

3. Flip paper over and fold top corners back to touch the bottom of the x.

4. Flip paper back over and push the center of the x in. The paper should begin to collapse into a triangle-thing.

Hopefully the pictures should help explain a little better.

I can't understand! D:
And the pictures are too small to look at! No, I don't have money enough to be a PRO...

These are nice - I once saw somebody throw a very similar 'plane from a London tower-block balcony - it was still above normal roof-top height when we lost sight of it.

This is the exact design I've been making for the last 27 years! (Psssst, 35 now) Always been my favorite! Nicely documented! +1

It's an interesting design that differs from most other paper airplanes out there. Might try it out some time. Although It's not really 'a completely flat glider' as you said since there's the flap at the bottom.

Cool! Looks like a great glider, might have to try it out, nice job!
