Children and adults who are fond of various crafts often dream of making an airplane out of paper that flies 100 meters. There is an effective method for creating such an airplane, proposed by students of the Moscow Aviation Institute.
Instructions
Step 1
To make an airplane out of paper that flies 100 meters, you need a simple, unwrinkled A4 sheet of paper. The main secret of creating a spectacular airplane is that it is necessary to fold the sheet in a special way and at the same time make sure that all the folds are even, and the elements are in proportion to each other. When creating your first model, it is better to use a ruler to avoid various shortcomings. Subsequently, you will be able to make such planes "by eye".
Place the sheet of paper vertically and fold the top of it at a 45-degree angle, then do the same on the other side. Spread out the sheet and note the resulting 6 folds. Bend the sheet along them in the opposite direction, obtaining a shape with proportional edges and corners. Fold the corners so that they are on top of each other and at the same time completely match in size. This action must be performed on both sides of the sheet.
Step 2
Go to the main stage, the correctness of which depends on whether you will be able to make a far-flying airplane out of paper or not. Fold exactly half the length of the side of the resulting square, getting some kind of an inverted Christmas tree. Fold the lower parts of the shape proportionally. Bend back the lower parts of the herringbone slightly and notice the small holes in them. Fill in the lower edges obtained before.
Step 3
Bend the wings of the plane by 2-3 cm, but no more, so that it turns out to be stable enough. Next, bend them slightly again along the body. The resulting aircraft will have a not quite standard look, more reminiscent of a fantastic spaceship, but at the same time it will undoubtedly be able to fly long distances. Alternatively, you can try making a long-flying airplane out of even large paper sizes for outdoor launch.
