Learning To Build Origami Paper Airplanes Part 2
After learning a few tips from the book. I finally begin to start my first Paper Airplane. It was called the "Classic Airplane." I figured to start on the most basic one so I could try to get a good feel before starting on the other crazy ones. It had a caption which a part of it said, "This classic paper airplane is a model that has been much loved for generations because it flies very well even thought it is so quick and easy to fold" (Ono 18).
My Design: I've decided to use this paper design to build my first "Classic Airplane" because I noticed this was the only paper that didn't have a specific type of Paper Plane for it.
First Step:
"Make a crease down the center of the paper by folding it in half then opening it out again. turn in the corners of one end of the paper so that the sides lie along the central crease with the corners next to each other" (Ono 18).
Like any other airplane, this comes to no surprise to crease it down the center of the paper since it is called the "Classic Airplane."
I am able to do this easily.
Second Step:
"Fold the new edges in so that they also meet along the central crease" (Ono 18).
Again, I had no problem doing the step of the instructions. The tips from the introduction helped me get an accurate fold.
Third Step:
"Turn back the nose, folding it about 1in (2.5cm) from the end, then turn the object over and close up the plane along the original crease line" (Ono 18).
After this step, I made sure to flatten the paper with a textbook to avoid the paper from hanging out so I didn't have to use my hands to press it down.
Fourth And Fifth Step:
"Turn over the wing at a slight angle so that the plane's body is deeper at the back than the front" (Ono 18). "Turn the plane over and fold down the other wing so that is exactly matches the first then open out the wings so that they sit together, at right angles to the body" (Ono 18).
I felt to not add any pictures the last two steps because it was already self explanatory. But the final design is below.
