greetings

paper folding is an art
with different shapes and angles
infinite structures are possible

in this instructable you will learn how to build 3 different varieties of paper planes

Step 1: The Simple Basic Plane

this is the most common variety of plane one can ever make
and is not that appealing to the eyes but be mistaken by the simple looks
it is a very great flying plane

you will need an A4 sized paper for this plane

Step 2: Some Basic Folds

*fold the sheet along the mid-line parallel to its length

*open it

*now you have a very distinct crease visible along the mid-line

*now fold either corners such that they align to the mid-line crease made

*again fold either of the outer edge to align it along the mid-line

Step 3: Getting Finished

*fold the paper halfway along the mid-line crease made previously

*fold one of the outer edge and align it along the lower edge

*flip the paper and fold the other outer edge as well

press tightly to get a better folded shape and bingo you have the simple looking plane all ready for its flight

hold along the mid-line and throw it in a linear direction and it flies

Step 4: Intermediate Fighter Plane

this is a cute origami fighter plane can be used for flying as well as decorations and pasting it for project works

it looks damn amazing from an isometric view

u will need a square paper for this plane

Step 5: Basic Folds

*fold along the diagonal

*fold it in half and then open to get a crease along its line of symmetry

*fold the two vertices to meet at the apex and their edge aligning along the crease we made earlier

*flip the paper and fold the horizontal corners to meet at the crease made

*now fold the middle crease inwards to cover the inward folded corners and you shall get a shapde that looks similar to a trapezium

Step 6: Finishing the Fighter Plane

*fold the flap of the acute corner upwards

*fold the other side similarly as well

*flip and open the arrangement along the mid-line

*now pinch the rear apex and pull it upwards

*and press the along the rear edge to get a upward fold which rises above

*now fold along the mid-line

your fighter origami plane is ready in action

Step 7: The Expert Fighter Plane

this is the finest plane capable of flying and also has a very stunning look

you will need an A4 size paper for this plane

Step 8: Starting Folds

*fold the edge along its breadth to get the crease similar to the diagonals of a square

*now flip the paper and fold horizontally to make the crease meet

* crease of the diagonals folded in one direction and the horizontal crease is in the opposite direction

*now fold halfway long the intersection of the diagonals along the horizontal crease such that the diagonal gets folded upto the intersection and the horizontal crease gets aligned vertically

*now press the same side's diagonal downwards to fold the crease that has aligned itself vertically

* now fold the other horizontal crease inwards and press the other diagonal to get a 5 sided shape when folded

Step 9: Middle Folds

*now fold the paper along its symmetry

*now fold the triangular flap and the end flap inwards along the mid-line

*flip and repeat on the other side

*now open he triangular flap and the flap outwards of both the sides

*now pinch the front of the paper upwards and squeeze the mid line to fold the paper along a reverse fold up to the triangular flap intersection and now fold the paper inwards to make as shown in the last image

Step 10: Finishing Steps

*fold the rear flap upwards

*and fold the wing flap along the same line

*similarly fold the rear and wing flap upwards of the other side

*now fold the rear flap downwards parallel along the top edge of the plane body

*now pinch the rear junction of the mid-line edge upwards and fold along the mid-line in reverse direction upwards to make the tail

and the good looking fighter plane is all ready for its first flight

Step 11: Making the Planes Sustainable

u can staple or glue the mid surface to prevent the plane from opening up

as all planes have a common middle symmetric folding
you can fold them for more portability and carrying more number of planes piled up together

hope you liked this instructable

thank you
