  3. Hamburger Fold Make crisp, accurate, straight folds. Hot Dog Fold Hamburger Fold Right Your folds should be symmetrical. One side should look just like the other side. If your plane is not symmetrical, it may not fly straight.

  4. Nose Fold Unfold the hamburger fold and use this center fold as a guide to keep your plane symmetrical. Your folds should be symmetrical. One side should look just like the other side. If your plane is not symmetrical, it may not fly straight.

  5. Cut wing shapes. Use the fold as a line for cutting both sides of your plane. Your folds should be symmetrical. One side should look just like the other side. If your plane is not symmetrical, it may not fly straight.

  6. Cut wing shapes Next step … cut wing flaps or ailerons. OR Feel free to cut your wings in more creative ways to make your plane look like a bird or futuristic rocket ship.

  7. Fuselage Fold ½” ½” Make crisp, accurate, straight folds. Fold the wings back to leave a fuselage about ½” wide.

  8. Wing Rudder Folds Make crisp, accurate, straight folds. Wing rudders will help your plane fly straight. Fold right wing rudder.

  9. Plane Views Adjust paper clips at various places on your plane to experiment with flight paths. What happens when the angle of the wings is changed? Top View Side View Front View

  10. Decorate Your Plane Use paper clips to control the center of gravity of your plane. See the next slide to add a cockpit and pilot to your plane. One paper clip on the nose of the plane will let you adjust the position of the cockpit and therefore your plane’s center of gravity.

  11. Build a cockpit with a pilot Draw cockpit and pilot on paper or in PowerPoint and tape it to the stick or cardboard strip. Glue a small soft foamie or wrap some tape to the front end so the plane won’t poke your eye out! Coffee stirrer stick or cardboard strip.

  18. Tips for flying well • You will learn the most about airplane design if you take the time to test and edit your inventions. • To get this design to work well, you need to add quite a bit or weight to the front end.  This can be done with paper clips or a coffee stirrer stick with tape or rubber bands on the end. • When finding the proper center of gravity to make your plane glide well, just release it. Do not throw it.  The speed may cause your plane to react more to wing and fin imperfections than to the center of gravity.  After you get your plane to glide well, then it should fly better when you throw it. • If at any point during the flight the tail dips or the nose dips, then your center of gravity needs to be adjusted. • ‘Professional’ paper airplane designers may test a plane’s balance or center of gravity MANY times before they get it the way they want it.
