How to Make a Paper Airplane: Easy Concorde Tutorial
Paper airplanes are a fun and easy way to pass the time. They're also a great way to learn about aerodynamics and flight. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to make a simple paper airplane that flies well. The airplane we'll be making is called the Concorde, and it's a classic design that's easy to fold and fly.
Materials
- One sheet of paper
Instructions
- Start by folding the paper in half lengthwise. Crease the fold well.
- Fold the top corners down to meet the center crease. Crease well.
- Fold the top flap down to meet the bottom edge of the paper. Crease well.
- Fold the wings up, making sure they are symmetrical. Crease well.
- Fold the top flap down again, this time folding it back on itself. This will create the nose of the plane.
- Fold the wings back down, making sure they are symmetrical. Crease well.
- Fold the nose of the plane down, making sure it's symmetrical. Crease well.
- Your Concorde is now ready to fly! To launch it, hold it by the nose and gently toss it forward.
Tips for Flying Your Concorde
- Make sure the creases are sharp. This will help the plane fly straight.
- Launch the plane with a gentle toss. Don't throw it too hard, or it will stall.
- Experiment with different launch angles. You may find that your plane flies better if you launch it at a slight upward angle.
Variations
There are many different variations of the Concorde paper airplane. You can experiment with different folds and designs to see what works best for you. For example, you can try folding the wings back on themselves to create a more stable plane.
Conclusion
Making a paper airplane is a fun and easy activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The Concorde is a classic design that's easy to fold and fly, and it's a great starting point for learning about aerodynamics and flight. So grab a sheet of paper and give it a try!
