Paper models have taken a huge part in everybody’s youth and despite of the fact that you might be not even knowing when you learnt it during your childhood. Glider paper plane have always rooted into our deep memory from my fifth grade. You can learn the science behind paper airplane foldings, flaps and elevators. If you learn almost ten paper airplanes from our LND – Next time when you see someone struggling with paper airplanes you can help them. You can teach them how this aerodynamics in paper plane works. Also check out our paper airplane that flies far and straight for school kids. For now, let’s make our glider paper plane with step by step illustrated instructions for everyone!
Two minutes for Noodles! isn’t it? Three minutes for Paper planes! It’s that simple with liftndrift*
Supplies Required:
- A4 Sheet of Paper or a Foolscap Paper with 70-90 GSM
- Ruler or Flat thick object to flatten the folded edges to make a strong crease.
Step 1:
- Keep your A4 sheet of paper over a flat surface or over a reading table
- Bring the Top left-hand end to the right side plane and fold it as shown in Fig.1.
- UNFOLD it once done!
Step 2:
- Bring the top right corner to the left side plane and fold it to make a triangle and then UNFOLD it
- Refer Fig.2 for doubts.
Step 3:
- Keep the paper flat on the table
- Follow the dotted line and fold down the top section along the dotted line
- UNFOLD it once done.
Step 4:
- Push and fold the top right and top left-hand corner edges inside.
- Compare Fig 4 and Fig 5 for your reference
Step 5:
- After pushing the sides inside, You have to flatten front face of the plane
Step 6:
- Pull-up the frontal triangle’s bottom right and bottom left edges along the center line.
Step 7:
- Fold the section again to half – with the center line as the reference.
Step 8:
- Pull down the nose and glue it up as shown in fig.8
Step 9:
- Make the winglets by folding the wing edges about a centimeter (1cm) on both sides downside perpendicularly
Step 10:
- That’s all about it, You are good to fly Glider paper plane!
- All the best for reaching the sky more and more with Liftndrift!
Glider paper plane flying technique:
- Hold the Plane behind the center of the plane’s gravity center.
- Keep your left foot slightly forward and launch it in 30 – 40 degrees angle, throw it steadily with a medium force. If it fails, tweak the tail wing slightly up and try again.
- Try different angles and forces now! Wow, That’s how one learns properly with more trying and flying. Kudos!
