Introduction: Paper Airplane Spaceship
Hello everyone! This Instructable has you build a normal paper airplane and remix it into a spaceship with a few easy modifications. It looks neat and if you painted it or something you could probably turn it into a Star Wars Star Destroyer or Super Star Destroyer. I hope you enjoy this Instructable and try to build it and make your own versions of this. (To make a normal, simple paper airplane go to https://www.instructables.com/id/The-Simplest-Paper-Airplane/ by blueckupe).
Step 1: Materials
You will need:
Stapler with at least 2 staples,
8.5 by 11 size piece of paper but Legal and Tabloid sizes of paper make extra large airplanes
Step 2: Fold Paper Airplane
First you will want to fold a normal paper airplane. It should be a plain classic paper airplane with nothing fancy. I learned how to do this a long time ago from a book and then refreshed my memory with the Instructable I mentioned above.
Step 3:
(So sorry that the photos are upside down. Uploading them messed it up.) Next you will want to pull flaps on the bottom of paper airplane so there is a 1/4 in. overlap. Then staple on that overlap to hold your paper airplane together. Now take the flaps and fold them out so they make a large wing like piece. Now you have landing gear for your spaceship.
Step 4: Create Bridge
This is the trickiest step. You have to fold the back of the paper airplane stick up in a triangle shape to make a bridge for your spaceship. (If you succeed you can cut down the fold line on the bridge about halfway and fold them down for a more star destroyer like look)
Step 5: Your Done!
You are finished with this Instructable! If you are good at this and have a lot of paper you could make a fleet of spaceships! I hope you enjoyed this Instructable and leave a comment.
Thank you!
