How to make an airplane made of paper?

In this century of numerous computer games, you want to distract your child from sitting in front of the monitor and diversify his leisure time. After all, summer is a time of rest, walking in the fresh air and active games. But why are you so interested in your child, who is tempted by the wonders of technology, to keep him engaged for a long time? I'll have to remember the simple games of my childhood. One of these hobbies was folding the airplane out of paper .

This lesson is suitable for children of any age, for boys and girls. To interest children and convince them of the interest and benefit of launching paper planes, tell them that even serious adults have such a passion. After all, such crafts as airplanes from paper, in order that they can fly well, you need to do responsibly and scrupulously.

Annually competitions are held to launch various models of airplanes from paper, and new achievements are recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. The longest recorded flight of the plane lasted 27.6 seconds, and the longest distance that the airplane overcame today is 69 meters 14 centimeters!

There are a lot of types of paper airplanes, books are written in which detailed schemes for folding are presented. You can even make a military airplane out of paper, first practicing conventional, unpretentious. So, without losing time, we proceed to a simple design of one of the varieties of a flying airplane made of paper .

How to fold an airplane from paper?

1. First you need to prepare a smooth working surface. It's better if you work at the table with your child, and not where you have to. Then all the lines of the fold will be clear and even, which means that your airplane will have all chances to become a champion. We need a sheet of A4 paper. The same format is a must in international championships. The sheet of paper is bent in half in height and unfolded again.
2. Now take one of the upper corners and bend it to the middle. The edge must clearly coincide with the longitudinal fold line of the entire sheet.
3. We perform a similar action with the second corner. You should have a perfectly straight triangular nose plane. If you admit the error, the airplane is unlikely to fly well.
4. Again, we make one more turn so that the edge coincides with the main axial line of our airplane.
5. And again, we bend the opposite side in the same way. The sharp nose of the plane turned out. But this is not all manipulation - the main thing ahead.
6. Now our sharp nose is bent downwards, so that its length is about 15 centimeters.
7. Keep all the time that the fold lines are clear, and the resulting top is strictly parallel to the bottom.
8. Again, raise the pointed nose up, leaving a kind of accordion. It is necessary to smooth the fold line well, so that it is as dense as possible.
9. We turn our workpiece back to ourselves.
10. Now the small pointed tip is bent towards you, as shown in the picture.
11. You can make a larger fold and iron it with some tool.
12. Or leave it that way.
13. Now bend the sheet along the fold line in half.
14. On the central bend, we mark the place where we will make an incision.
15. We take the scissors and cut them a little obliquely.
16. Now zaginayem neatly inward.
17. Straighten the wings and raise the tips for more sustainable planning.
18. This kind of view should finally accept a paper plane for its first successful flight.
