      Folding Symbols and Techniques

      Here’s what the arrows mean:

       Fold this way

       Fold and reopen

       Fold around behind

       Flip the whole plane over

      Most planes start with the paper face down. The drawings show the face in dark colors, and the back in lighter colors.

      This is a valley fold; it looks a bit like a valley.

      And this is a mountain fold.

      Rudders are made with reverse folds. Start by creasing the paper along the fold line. Open out the plane slightly, reverse each of the folds, and re-crease them to make a neat rudder.

       Most of the planes need a final tweak to really fly well. They will dive until you bend up the back edge of the wing slightly. Bending the wing keeps the nose up and lets the plane float on the air. But too much, and it will stall and crash. Add and subtract until the plane flies just right.

      Introduction

      Isn’t it amazing that an ordinary piece of paper can turn into an airplane— a real airplane—just like the ones we fly on every day?

      Those airplanes overhead, full of people flying here and there, have engines to help them take off and fly long distances. Paper airplanes may not have the engines, but if you fold them right and throw them carefully, they will fly just as well.

      All airplanes need wings and good balance. With origami airplanes, you get that balance by folding your paper so that there are wings at the back, and lots of weight at the front. Get the wings and balance right, and all kinds of strange shapes will fly.
