How to Make Flapping Paper Plane by 陳亮

Intro: Flapping Paper Plane

This flapping paper plane folding method I am learning from a college student over ten years ago.It happen at a Physics class, a paper plane competition. Tens of ...

Step 1: Prepare a A4 paper

Any A4 paper should work, recycling paper preferred. In my experience, 80gsm is a bit too light, 100gsm or above is better.

Step 2: Fold in half

Step 3: Fold in half again

Step 4: Same fold in other side

Step 5: Turn a right angle

Step 6: Fold in diagonal

This is the most difficult step, it can help by drawing a diagonal line with ruler before folding.

Step 7: Flip horizontal

Step 8: Same fold in other side

Step 9: Fold a triangle at the corner

Step 10: Same fold at the other side

Step 11: Flip and turn a right angle

Step 12: Fold in half

Step 13: Fold 2 upper corner

The folding angle for the corner is a little bit arbitrary, but you can see a straight line from the upper and lower triangle after the fold.

Step 14: Fold lower triangle up

Step 15: Flip horizontal

Step 16: Fold the triangle down

Step 17: Fold in half

Step 18: Fold out the wing

The fold out portion is arbitrary, just the size that your fingers that can hold the paper plane body.

Step 19: Flip horizontal

Step 20: Same fold in other side

Step 21: Done

keep the wings in v-shape

Step 22: Hold the paper plane method

Use 2 fingers hold the paper plane body thickest part, check the wings in v-shape and at the same angle.

Step 23: Play and enjoy!
