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.
