How To Make Paper Airplane

Paper airplane (Klutz Book of Paper Airplanes) are very quick method of making toy airplane for kids. There are different kind of paper airplanes design available for you to try and test. Most of the paper airplane designs are very simple and anyone can make them and have a fun. I am planing to discuss few those designs here and with the minimum effort you can try them. For these plane designs, please select very light weight papers so that your plane will fly very smoothly. Kids' Paper Airplane Book, The World Record Paper Airplane Book, Stationery Flight: Extraordinary Paper Airplanes, Alex Toys Fly'em High, Fly'em Fast Fold'n Fly Kit-Makes 18 Airplanes, Zoom! (reissue): The Complete Paper Airplane Kit (Trend Friends), Best Ever Paper Airplanes are good reference for more paper airplane designs.

You only need to have an A4 paper to make this paper airplane. Then you need to follow nine steps to make this plane. Please refer the figure.

Steps

  1. Take A4 paper

  2. Mark the middle line of the A4 paper and bend from that line

  3. Bend upper right hand coner of the paper to middle line

  4. Bend upper left hand coner of the paper to middle line same as previous

  5. Middle edge of right hand side bend to again middle line

  6. Middle edge of left hand side bend to again middle line as step 5

  7. Now bend your plane from middle line and left and right wings should be equal size

  8. Mark the middle line on right wing and bend right wing from middle line to outward

  9. Makr the middle line on left wing and bend left wing from middle line to outward
 Now your paper plane is ready. Fire your paper plane and see how it flying. Try different shapes of the same design by bend the paper from different places. You and your kid might feel more happy with this exercise.

How To Make A Balloon Plane

Friends! How is the thing happening? Did you try the toy planes we make here? Today I am going to show another simple toy plane design that you can make very easily but have a great fun. Today we make Balloon Plane. You may wonder what this balloon plane is. This is again a simple plane uses the rubber balloon to generate throttle power. You know that once you fill the rubber balloon with air, inside the balloon air in under pressure. Once you release this air you can generate pressurized air flow from balloon’s mouth. This air flow can be used to push your plane forward very easily. Now you can imagine what I am going to make here. Even though this is a simple plane design if you control the air flow correctly you will be able to fly your plane considerable long air time. It all depends on the balloon size, straw size and length. You need to fine tune these parameters to get optimum flying time. That means if balloon is large we can expect long flying time. If straw size is small

Rubber Band Powered Toy Plane

As a simple start let’s make a rubber band powered toy plane as our first project. This is a very simple design which will guide you basic concept of flying machines or airplane. Before move into implementation of toy plane let’s try to understand the concept behind the flying. People have used different mechanism to fly and those are having their own advantages and disadvantages. This article explains in details different mechanism used and how they look likes. As you might already know, flying mean float on the air while moving forward or backward. Basically flying machines not take backward movement whereas by turning it can change the direction easily. To float on the air it should have some force against the gravitational forces or simply weight of the airplane. How we generate this lifting force, if you can find a mechanism to generate this force you can float on the air. Concept of Flying Figure 1.1: Air flow pattern of airplane wing

Rubber Band Powered Rocket

Today I am going to introduce another simple but, very interesting toy. You might remember that we make a Paper Airplane few months ago. Today I am going to fly that paper airplane using a rubber band. If you did not make my previous paper airplane you can try it from here . You have to have that paper airplane to make this rubber band powered rocket. Fig 1: How to make a paper airplane As you can see in above picture, you need to make your paper airplane. Details instruction given in previous post . Then you need to have a little long rubber band.
