Boomerang Paper Airplane: How to Make a Plane That Flies Back to You

Have you ever wanted to make a paper airplane that flies back to you? Well, now you can! This boomerang paper airplane is a fun and easy project that anyone can do.

What You’ll Need

• One sheet of paper (8.5 x 11 inches is ideal)

Instructions

1. Fold the paper in half lengthwise. Make a nice, crisp crease down the center.
2. Fold the top corners down to the center crease. This will create two triangles.
3. Fold the top flap down again, but only halfway. This will create a smaller triangle at the top.
4. Fold the wings up. Fold the two sides of the paper up, creating the wings of the airplane. Make sure the folds are even.
5. Fold the nose down. Fold the top flap down again, creating the nose of the airplane. This will also help to stabilize the plane.
6. Adjust the wings. Adjust the angle of the wings to your liking. If you want the plane to fly farther, make the wings more pointed. If you want the plane to fly slower, make the wings more rounded.

How to Throw a Boomerang Paper Airplane

To throw a boomerang paper airplane, you need to launch it at a slight upward angle. The plane will then fly in a circular motion and eventually return to you. Here are some tips for throwing a boomerang paper airplane:

• Throw the plane with a gentle underhand motion. Don’t throw it too hard, or it will fly too far.
• Aim the plane slightly upward. This will help the plane to stay in the air longer.
• Experiment with different angles and speeds. It may take a few tries to find the perfect way to throw your boomerang paper airplane.

Why Does This Plane Fly Back?

The boomerang paper airplane works because of the shape of its wings. The wings are designed to create lift, which allows the plane to stay in the air. The plane also has a slight curve to it, which helps it to turn in a circular motion. When the plane is thrown, the lift and the curve work together to make the plane fly back to the thrower.

Have Fun!

Now that you know how to make a boomerang paper airplane, go out and have some fun! This is a great activity to do with friends and family. You can even have a competition to see who can throw their plane the farthest or who can make the plane fly back the fastest.
