Paper Airplane Folding Instructions
1. Holding the paper width-wise, fold the top down about two inches.
2. Fold the sheet in half vertically.
3. Fold the top right corner down to the left edge.
4. Repeat step three with the other side folding the opposite way.
5. Open sheet back up as shown.
6. Accordion fold the top side rectangles in to get this shape.
7. Fold the bottom flaps up and tuck them under the triangle shape.
8. Fold the peak back to the bottom edge of the paper.
9. Flip the paper over and crease in the sides of the upside-down triangle.
10. Invert fold the side in to get this shape.
11. Now, fold the plane in half away from you.
12. Fold down one wing as shown and repeat with the other side.
13. Fold the ends of the wings tips up and you are done.
Give the wings an upward Y shape to improve performance. This dihedral angle will be more stable. To improve the flight characteristics, cut some aileron flaps on the back of the wings. These can be bent up or down to get this paper airplane to fly straight and level.
