Introduction: How to Make a Paper Airplane
The Instructable is to create a paper airplane for anyone who wants to learn using a standard 8x11 in printer paper. The age range is realistically 11-18 years of age. The Instructable will consist of 10 easy-to-read steps with a picture from each step to relate the actions of the written step to a visual aid in case of any confusion from the individual.
The materials required is an 8.5x11 piece of standard stock paper, a ruler is also useful but it is not required.
Step 1:
Place a 8.5x11 inch paper on a dry, flat surface.
Step 2:
Fold the paper in half longwise. Be sure to press down hard to ensure the fold holds its position.
Step 3:
Unfold the paper and lay flat, the crease created will be crease A.
Step 4:
Fold the left corner, aligned with crease A, creating a triangle.
Step 5:
Repeat step 4 for the right side.
Step 6:
Fold left on the triangle corners again, in line with crease A.
Step 7:
Repeat step 6 for the right side.
Step 8:
Fold the paper in half along crease A, with the triangle folds on the inside.
Step 9:
Starting with crease A, go up 2 inches and make a parallel fold with one side of the paper, creating a 90 degree angle.
Step 10:
Repeat step 9 on the other side. Note at the end of this you should have a "T-shape" from the rear view.
