Up, up, and away! Paper airplanes are a fun, easy way to pass the time—but how exactly do you turn a basic piece of paper into a jet-setting masterpiece? You’ve come to the right place. We’ve put together a handy, step-by-step guide to help you fold your way to a sleek, far-flying paper airplane . In a matter of minutes, you’ll be ready for take-off!

Folding a Classic Paper Airplane

  • If you want to make a colored paper airplane, use construction paper instead.
  • Make sure the crease points toward you when you’re folding your paper airplane or else you’ll fold the wrong corners.

Tip: Try using a ruler or a credit card to press the fold down if pressing it with your fingernail doesn’t work.

  • This fold creates the bottom of your plane so it’s easier to hold and throw once it’s finished.
  • Make sure your wings are symmetrical to one another so your plane stays level when you throw it.

Making an Advanced Plane

  • Try using different kinds of paper to add designs and test how it affects your plane.
  • Make sure the crease you folded is pointing toward you when you start folding the paper, or else your folds won’t line up.
  • Don’t let the point touch the bottom edge of your paper or it will affect the structure of your plane when you’re finished.
  • If you want your airplane to have a blunt edge in front instead of a point, fold the top of your paper so only the corners touch the center crease.
  • Your paper should look like a large triangle on top of a narrow rectangle when you're finished.
  • Don’t hide your previous folds inside or else it will affect your plane’s structure.
  • Make sure the wings on your plane are the same size so your plane doesn’t fly to one side.

About This Article

Hunter Rising

To make a simple paper airplane, first fold a piece of paper in half lengthwise. Then, unfold it and fold the top 2 corners to the center. Next, fold the angled edges that you just created towards the center, leaving about 1 cm of space between the bottom of the angled edges and the crease. Fold along your original center-line, revealing a small inverted triangle. Now, fold the small inverted triangle up, to lock the angled edges in place. Then, turn your plane over and fold down the top 2 flaps to create wings. Hold it by the bottom edge, and let it fly! For tips on making a slightly more advanced plane, keep reading the article!

In addition, paper planes resemble flight itself! As early as 500 BC, they found the first folding paper airplane that came from China. The popularity of these paper airplane flying toys is the same as the paper-folding craft of origami, which grew in Japan around the same time in China.

Paper airplanes are very helpful when you want to illustrate air traffic control guidelines. There was a time when people used the paper airplane to explain and discuss the fundamental parts of real aircraft. People of a certain age may recall buying those fancy "White Wings" in the store made from several sheets of squeezed chipboard paper, and these cutout versions are still paper airplanes too.

Learn to Fold the 'Tube' Paper Airplane

Released on 10/21/2020

[pleasant music]

This odd looking machine is called the tube.

That is quite a paper airplane.

It spins as it flies.

It gets its directional stability

from how quickly that it's spinning.

But more importantly, that's how it derives its lift,

from how fast it's spinning.

The special boundary layer effect,

the little gobs of air gets stuck

in all the tiny imperfections, microscopic imperfections

in the surface of this plain,

and the faster it spins, the more it can interact

with the surrounding air and develop lift.

The upshot is as it's spinning this way,

it can shove enough air off of that side

and lift it up like that,

so because it's moving forward through the air like that.

So very interesting aircraft.

Round paper airplane.

The center of gravity is right there.

It's not even in not even touching the plane.

It's in the middle of all that.

Center of gravity in the middle, boop, thin air.

And so to fold it we're gonna start

with an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet.

I'm gonna start with the long side up.

We're gonna fold down 1/3.

And 1/3 means that the layered part's gonna be

the same length as the unlayered part.

And it's okay if the layered part is a little bit bigger.

And so to make sure that you're folding straight,

get this edge and this edge lined up

and start in the middle and sweep to the outside.

And there's 1/3 folded over.

And you'll notice that's you know,

visually you can see that's a little bit bigger than that,

which is that's okay.

Actually preferable to have that a little bit bigger.

So don't sweat the 1/3 thing.

You don't have to whip out the ruler

and do any of that crazy stuff.

Just get about a third over there.

Now we're gonna fold the layered part in half,

bringing your top down to that what used to be

the top edge of the paper.

Make a nice, sharp crease,

again, starting in the center and working our way out.

And one more time, we're gonna fold

the layered part in half.

Right here, just right through there.

If you started with anything thicker than 20 pound paper,

your fingers are gonna get

a real workout on this one. [laughs]

So let's roll that over one more time,

folding the layer part in half.

Take your time and line it up.

Try to control those layers.

It's a lot of layers to control.

And sweeping to the outside and making a sharp crease.

We're gonna do something extraordinary here

to sharpen this crease.

We're gonna pick it up on this camera over here,

and we're gonna roll it over the edge of the table

to sharpen the crease and we're just gonna work it

back and forth.

The smooth side of the paper is up,

the layered part is down.

Rubbing against the layered part

right over the corner of the table.

Makes a great satisfying sound.

[paper scratching]

And now it's gonna stand up.

You can see it's gonna stand up

just like a little tunnel there.

You can reach right under it.

Standing up nicely.

Now the trick here, let's flip it over

so that we have the curved side up.

We're gonna unfold just the last time we folded it in half,

the last time we did that.

And I want you to come down here to the right hand side

of the plane and we're just gonna lift up this corner here.

It's layered.

You can see there's a loop of paper here.

A little loop of paper there.

I want you to put a finger inside there like that.

So we're separating the two corners here,

the two single layer corners,

and there's a double layer corner on top.

So we're just gonna put a finger inside there like that

and then grab the other end.

We're gonna wrap the other end around

and put it right inside there,

just like that.

And we're gonna put it in there about that much.

Yeah, it's a little bit more than an inch,

maybe an inch and a half.

You know, one thumb width.

Almost a 1 1/2 thumb widths kind of an idea.

So again, I made that look really easy and I know it's not.

So I'm gonna lift this top layer here.

There's a single layer on either,

you got a short single layer and a long single layer

on one side, and I'm gonna put just put my finger in there

just to hold that open.

You got a double layer there that's got a corner.

That's a crease right there.

So if you have two layers and two layers

and we're just going to pick this other end up,

roll it around and put it inside there

where finger is and slide it in,

you know, inch and a half or so, and then hang on to it.

Once you get it together, hang on to it.

Because what we're gonna do to lock this plane together

is follow that crease all the way around that we unfolded.

So what I like to do is start here, hold on to it.

Where the layers overlap, where you put it

one inside the other and push it down right there.

I like to reach up inside here with a finger

and just kind of hold that, crimp that down like that.

That'll help you as you're remaking the crease

and this is gonna get ugly.

I'm warning you now, it's gonna get ugly.

Here we go.

It's getting ugly.

It's getting really ugly.

It's getting very ugly.

And then suddenly when you get all the way around there,

it starts to get beautiful.

Look at that.

It goes from very ugly to very beautiful.

And just, just a moment like that.

And now we're going to push in just so you can see

I'm rounding it out just by going around there,

smoothing it out and it becomes,

and really, kind of an extraordinary circle here.

Okay. Let's flip it over.

This is the heavy side up with all the layers there.

You can see all the layering right there.

Let's turn it over just briefly here.

Right here is what we're gonna fix next.

This is the tail of the plane.

It's popping up in there a little bit.

I don't like that.

Some people leave that open.

You can leave that open if you want.

It will affect the flight.

I feel like it adds a little bit of drag.

So what I'm gonna do is just go around that edge

about mm, I don't know, two, three millimeters,

you know, something like a little bit less

than a quarter of an inch.

And I'm just gonna go all the way around

the back of the plane, just moving that to the inside.

And then just kind of pinching it to smooth that out.

And that really looks a lot better.

Holds together a lot better.

It's going to be smoother through the air.

There's your tube.

Now there's no real adjusting here. [laughs]

This is it.

There's no control surfaces.

You're going to throw it

and it's gonna rotate like that.

You're gonna throw it, let it roll off your fingertips.

If you've ever thrown a spiral football,

that's kind of what you're goin' for.

So if you've never thrown a spiral football,

it's actually kind of easy to learn

how to do it with this tube.

Start by throwing it like this

and just giving it some backspin.

And don't worry about how far it's going.

Just worry about developing a good amount of spin,

just like that, and you know,

throw it a few times so that you're kind of

getting the hang of it, imparting some good spin here.

And once you got the hang of making it spin,

just turn your wrist like this.

Same kind of motion.

Down like that and let it go that way.

And so that's a good way to learn

how to throw this guy and you can give it

a fairly hard toss.

It really likes a really good solid throw.

Give it a lot of spin, really hard throw

and wrap your finger around it where the thick part is,

don't do it here with a, it'll squish on ya,

but get up here where the thick part is,

wrap your finger around it

and then really give it a good hard spin

and a good heart throw.

It should zip out there, 60, 70 feet, no problem.

It's a great indoor plane.

It's a little bit crazy to throw out door.

You can't really tell what it's doing.

Sometimes it gets caught in the wind.

It does crazy things.

A really fun plane to learn how to make,

extraordinary to learn how to fly.

It's the tube.

The Basic Dart and other Fold ‘N Fly paper airplane folding instructions

The most popular video on the Fold ‘N Fly paper airplane YouTube channel is a classic design that’s good for distance flying: The Basic Dart . It’s listed as ‘Easy’ on FoldnFly.com , one of more than two dozen paper airplane designs with simple folding instructions for kids and adults.

The Basic Paper Airplane below is also a quick and simple design “that almost everyone has tried” to make. This is another excellent starter airplane for first-time folders.

“This plane has a lot of stability and can fly very far. It has a tendency to flip upside down during flight. If you slightly bend the two wings up at the rear, you can get it to do flips and tricks.”
“This paper plane looks like a fly and it flies like one too! Bend the tail flaps up or down to control the flight. Bend one up and one down to make it spiral!”
“This bird-like paper airplane resembles a seagull gliding over the ocean. You can experiment to find your own ways to bend the wings and how much weight to add to the front.”

How to Make a Paper Airplane

Want to know more about flight and how it works? Paper airplane models were used to test flight theory in the early 1900’s before man took flight for the first time. They may have even inspired the Wright brothers, who in 1903, were the first people ever to fly a plane! In this Paper Airplane STEM project, you’ll learn how to build two different kinds of paper airplanes, test them, and learn the science behind why they fly.

While there’s much to learn and read about flight, why not make your own paper planes and see what happens as you fly them? The well-known and loved design – “The Classic” – is a great one to start with. As long as you take the time to build and fold it with care, it will fly very well! Next, we’ll build a slower-flying, long-range paper plane. Test both planes with different launching techniques and make gentle adjustments for even better results!

Plain white (or colored) copy paper, standard size Ruler (can double as a creasing tool) Pencil Paperclip (optional – can help with weight distribution)

The easiest way to learn how to make a paper airplane is to watch someone do it! Check out this video demonstrating how to make both of our paper airplane designs. Then read below for written step by step directions.

The Classic Paper Airplane Design

Classis Paper Airplane Style

Holding a sheet of paper horizontally, fold it in half lengthwise (to make a crease) and then open again.

Next, fold the top corner to the center crease. Repeat on the other side.

Fold corners over again so that they meet in the middle.

Make the body of the plane about 1” deep and the flaps about .75 inch high. Make sure the folds are bent at right angles.

Paper Airplane Bomber Style

Holding a sheet of paper horizontally, fold it in half widthwise and crease.

Next, fold the corners in.

Fold the point down to the lower edge.

Then, open it out to make a crease.

Fold the point over to the crease made in Step 3 and leave it folded.

Next, create a fold so that the point meets the crease made in Step 3.

Fold the edge again so that the crease made in Step 3 now turns into a fold.

Fold the point over to the crease in Step 3.

Paper Airplane Test Results

Test Results revealed that the “Classic Paper Airplane” design and the “Bomber” both flew the same distance although the “Classic Airplane” design flew a bit faster.

Additional research shows that, in general, paper planes with wider wings glide slower while airplanes with skinny wings will go faster and further.

Paper Airplane STEM Challenge

Tips & Tricks to Help Your Plane Fly Its Best

Make sure you fold carefully and precisely. Run your finger or the edge of a ruler over each fold to make sure they’re crisp.

Symmetry is very important when folding paper airplanes because the smallest imperfection can derail your airplane and cause it to spin out of control.

Sometimes a paper airplane can be improved by adding a small piece of clear tape to keep the body of the plane from unfolding.

A small paper clip can be added to the nose or body to adjust the center of mass (where the airplane balances from front to back).

Different paper airplane designs respond to different ways of being launched. Some planes respond better to a “gentle push” rather than a “hard throw”. Experiment to find out what works best for your paper airplane.

If your plane dives sharply towards the ground, slightly bend UP the back edges of the wings. This helps the nose point more upwards in flight and give the plane more lift.

If your plane flies sharply upwards and then falls backwards towards the ground, adjust the back edges of the wings DOWN to straighten its flight path.

Small adjustments can make a big difference!

Want to really power up your designs? Try making a Paper Airplane Launcher and watch your planes fly far and fast!

The Science Behind Paper Airplane Flight

To help a paper airplane fly, we need to create “lift” to counter the weight of the plane. The same principle applies to both powered and unpowered flight. Real airplanes are an example of powered flight – the engine is provided for extra lift to counteract the heavy weight of the plane.

Gliders are made of very lightweight materials so they can fly without power. Paper airplanes are gliders too, needing only your arm to launch them! To achieve lift, an aircraft’s wings are angled so that the front edges are higher than the back edges. This makes the air speed up as it goes over the curved top of the wings.

The air going under the wing slows down because it meets the back of the wing that‘s been tilted down. The difference in the speed that the air travels above and below the wing is what creates the lift.

“Drag” and “thrust” also influence flight. The thrust of your throw propels your plane forward, but once it’s been launched, air resistance creates drag, pushing against the airplane’s forward motion.

Once you’ve made your paper airplane, you can experiment with its flying pattern by making tiny adjustments to its wing and/or tail shapes.
