How to Make an Origami Professional Airplane

This little aircraft is a true professional. It flies well, picks up high speed, and makes different movements in the air. It all depends on how you make it and with what force you fly it.

To make such a model out of paper, you do not need to possess special skills. Even a beginner can handle it – just follow our step-by-step instructions.

Step 1

Prepare a sheet measuring 22×28 cm or any other, as long as the approximate aspect ratio is maintained.

Step 2

Place it on the table as shown in the photo. Fold in half along the vertical axis.

Step 3

Next, work only with the front of the paper. Fold the top right corner towards the left side and crease the fold.

Step 4

Fold the bottom right corner towards the left side. This fold should also be well-creased.

Step 5

Bend first the top and then the bottom left corners of the figure so that they are in the center.

Step 6

Step 7

Unfold the paper as shown in the photo and open the folds made in the previous step.

Step 8

Step 9

Bend the left and right corners of the figure so that their edges coincide with the fold lines.

Step 10

Step 11

Make two more inner folds.

Step 12

Step 13

Bend the corner up, as if fixing the bent parts from steps 11 and 12.

Step 14

Turn the figure to the wrong side and fold it in half.

Step 15

Step 16

Fold one side of the figure in half.

Step 17

Step 18

Step 19

Repeat the same action with the other side.

Step 20

Step 21

Step 22

Bend the edge of one wing as shown in the photo.

Step 23

Step 24

Do the same for the other wing.

Step 25

All done!

Step 26

Step 27

Step 28

A compact, lightweight, and maneuverable paper aircraft is ready. It’s time to test it in practice – fly it and see how it moves in the air and knows how to catch the wind. We suggest you try to make a large and small model: compare which one flies faster and makes more turns.
