Here's how to make a cool paper plane called Nakamura. You don't need to throw it too far - just give it a little gentle push forward, then let it go. If the folds you made are right, your airplane will fly about 25 meters.
Steps
Step 1. Fold a sheet of paper in half
Then reopen it.
Step 2. Fold the top corners down to create a triangle at the top
Step 3. Fold the triangle down
Step 4. Fold the top corners to the center of the triangle, then fold the bottom of the triangle over the corners you lowered
Step 5. Fold in half
If you folded it in half well you should see a triangle in the center of both sides.
Step 6. Fold the top edge down to one side
Do the same on the other side. It will be one of the best airplanes you've ever made! {Largeimage | Make a Nakamura Lockapaper Airplane Step 6.jpg}}
Step 7. Try to fly it
Give it a very light push. If you push it too hard, it won't fly but it will still look great anyway.
Advice
- If you are outdoors, check the wind direction.
- Add fins to stabilize the plane during flight.
- Don't push it too hard.
- Take a pencil, stick it into the underside of the wings and pull it out. Improve aerodynamics.
- Use the back of the fuselage by moving it with two fingers. This operation serves to adjust the aerodynamics.
