What you will need<br />
A sheet of paper<br />
What to do<br />
1. Firstly, fold the sheet in half along the<br />
line shown in DIAG 1 and then open it out<br />
again.<br />
2. Fold the two top corners in to the centre<br />
line to give the form as in DIAG 2.<br />
3. Then fold the top large triangle over so<br />
that the two fl aps formed in Step 2 are<br />
underneath the large triangle. Your paper<br />
should now look like DIAG 3.<br />
4. From the form in DIAG 3, fold the two<br />
top corners into the centre line again in<br />
such a way that you get the form as in<br />
DIAG 4.<br />
5. Now fold the small triangle up over the<br />
two fl aps to give DIAG 5.<br />
6. Fold along the centre line so that the<br />
small triangle is on the underside of the<br />
plane on the outside along with the two<br />
fl aps as shown in DIAG 6.<br />
7. Fold along the line AB as in DIAG 6,<br />
then turn the plane over and do the same<br />
to the other side producing DIAG 7.<br />
8. Fold along the line labelled AB on the<br />
diagram fi rst one way and then the other,<br />
creasing really well. Tuck the triangular<br />
shaped depression in between the two<br />
wings to produce DIAG 8. This stabilises<br />
the plane.<br />
Can you make your own design that will fl y<br />
smoothly? You could make two airplanes<br />
and see who can make the longest fl ight.<br />
