How to make your own ultimate paper plane.
I`m bored at work at the moment and the boss is n`t around so I decided to try out this new design. It starts off very similar in design to paper planes I used to make in my childhood really, but with a few "add on features". When trimed right, it really glides well; works a treat. http://www.guardian.co.uk/flash/0,5860,1648976,00.html. Enjoy.

Re: How to make your own ultimate paper plane.
I don't understand what they're doing in step 10. It says 'fold up the nose' and then it shows a picture that makes no sense to me.

Re: How to make your own ultimate paper plane.
Those instructions don't work. The image as they show it in step 10 is impossible without using scissors and the explanation for what they're doing is inadequate.

Re: How to make your own ultimate paper plane.
It's not impossible, you (as it says) fold the nose into the body of the plane. It makes the end heavier

Re: How to make your own ultimate paper plane.
Interestingly enough, this seems to be exactly the kind of paper airplane my dad always used to make, and the kind I still use...

Re: How to make your own ultimate paper plane.
We used to make tons of paper planes at primary school. We threw them out of the top floor windows. It was winter, so the snow covered them. When the snow dissapeared the teachers went mad at us (was about ~100 planes in total laying on the ground) :eek:

Re: How to make your own ultimate paper plane.
scissors and sticky tape? that's cheating. Even without those effects, the plane seems to work quite well...
