Notes

Paper airplane might be something that we used to play with when we were a child. Everyone know how to make a paper airplane. But, what if a paper airplane breaks the world record? Well, on 26 February 2012 a paper airplane called Suzanne flew 226 feet 10 inches at McClellan Air Force Base in California. If you curious about how to make the paper airplane, these following steps bellow could be the good answer for you.

To make this paper airplane, you only need a piece of paper. It could be A4 or F4.

Step 1: Make a diagonal line by folding the top right-hand corner to the left-hand side of the paper. Line up the edges accurately.

Step 2: Unfold and repeat the step for the opposite side.

Step 3: Unfold, and take the edge on the right-hand side and line it up against the diagonal crease from the top left-hand corner.

Step 4: Repeat this step for the left part, try to make it as symmetrical as possible. After that, fold both in.

Step 5: Fold the top part down until we can see an upside-down V shape by lining up the crease.

Step 6: Now we can fold both top corners to the middle by folding with the crease of the V.

Step 7: Pick up the paper and fold it in the centre. Make sure both sides are very simetrical, otherwise it will fly turning to one way.

Also, try to flatten every crease as flat as possible with your fingers, or with a help of a ruler.

Step 9: The very last part, yet the most important step is to make the wings. Pull one side of the plane and pulling it down just until the little triangle on the back of the plane disappears. It makes the wings wider and a more efficient glider. Do the same with the other wing.

Final step: Unfold both wings and create an approximately 155 degree angle apart. It doesn't have to be exact this time.

Now you are ready to make a a new world record!
